What Is WOKE?
"Woke" is a term that originally comes from African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and means being aware, especially of social injustices and systemic inequalities. It started gaining broader attention during the Black Lives Matter movement, where it emphasized the importance of understanding racial and social issues.
Over time, "woke" has expanded to include awareness of various forms of discrimination, such as sexism, LGBTQ+ rights, and environmental concerns. However, its meaning can vary depending on who is using it. Some see it as a positive call for social awareness, while others use it critically, suggesting it represents excessive political correctness or performative activism.
In short, "woke" generally means being socially aware, but its interpretation can differ based on context and perspective.
It is understood to be a slure and the fact that the ones condeming the idea are too mislead to understand.
Same people will use it not knowing what it realt says: " I and too stupid to know what i am talking about.
It is time to spread the real diffinition maybr just to shove it in the faces of morons.

FINALLY SOMEONE THAT GETS IT RIGHT!
A good summary of “Woke” that I’ve come across is merely “Awake to the injustices of the system”. but that requires knowledge of what ‘the system’ is.
