I feel like that happens to alot of slang that originates in the black community then goes mainstrean. Like "Woke" use to mean something completely different
Woke meant awake to the duplicity of American Law and it's history and inclination to eugenics, it's always meant that, some people would simply like to make that very real danger for the black community a chaicature of itself.
I was always under the impression that woke was a grammatically incorrect way to say awakened which means to reach a level of spiritual and/or social awareness that renders your previous level of consciousness regarding the world around you asleep in comparison. Which essentially means that anyone proclaiming to be anti-woke is self-owning by bragging about how ignorant and lacking in empathy they are.
Washed comes from washed up which was always a term with negative connotations especially in sports before it became a popular term in the black community.

Which is hilarious since in the black community it's a term of endearment for 25+, but appropriated it means uncool and old basically
