Woke means "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination". I know what the word means. It's the definition that leftists assign to that word where I take issue. You dolts don't know how to define things properly. Case in point; "... they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." You leftists have completely twisted the meaning of that to suit your own agenda.
.
The term has adjusted its original meaning over time, as it is almost exclusively used by uptight effete white liberals. When the term "woke" first started appearing online and in print 7 or 8 years ago, I looked up its origins. I'm the inquisitive sort and prefer to know what words are supposed to mean. Woke originally meant that Blacks needed to "stay woke" to be down for racial justice. Naturally white leftists co-opted the term to fit their ideology.
And some semi-famous leftist really stepped in it recently for saying that "woke is a racist slur" used by the right:
Soledad O'Brien declares 'woke' a 'racist slur' in ridiculed tweet: 'Quit reaching'
The ex-CNN anchor told reporters woke is 'a synonym for the n-word'
Journalist Soledad O’Brien alerted reporters on Monday that the term "woke" has now become akin to a "racist slur" or "the n-word."
From her Twitter account, the ex-CNN anchor posted an image of a tweet from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., commenting on the Super Bowl pregame show. Greene wrote, "Chris Stapleton just sang the most beautiful national anthem at the Super Bowl. But we could have gone without the rest of the wokeness."
O’Brien tweeted in response, "So reporters.. for many people ‘woke’ means Black people. Or more likely--a racist slur. So maybe do a better job in interviews when people talk about 'wokeness' mmkay?"
She double downed by saying, "Yeah I've discovered that some people use it as a synonym for the n-word," in response to a Twitter user who wrote, "I never understood what woke means."
