Woke (/ˈwoʊk/ WOHK) is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) meaning "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination".
Alert to racial prejudice and discrimination... I would think that as a result of BLM, CRT, Rodney King, and all of the burning and looting that has been going on in our big cities, one would have to be dumber than homemade shit not to be aware of racial prejudice and discrimination in the US of A...
Being aware of all of this and being in a position to do something about it are two different scenarios...
If one wants to end racism and discrimination, one has to look at both the BLACK and WHITE communities that perpetuate it... If we say that the problem is ALL WHITE, then we have our heads up our asses (to be blunt) because every time the BLACK cry racism, they are perpetuating racism rather than stopping racism.
Asking for special treatment because you are BLACK is perpetuating racism... Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Bill Cosby, Ice T, Opra Winfry, Will Smith, Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, did not spend all their time bitching about racism so that they would get the job, they made themselves better than the WHITE man, so that they could earn the job.
It is better to earn something than be given something without putting forth any effort...
Are these above named celebrities WOKE... you bet your ass they are... but, so is everyone else... You cannot live in the USA these days without being WOKE...
BUT, if all you are going to do is CRY RACISM everytime a BLACK does not get their way, then you have abused and missused your RACE and ETHNICITY...
Living in East TN, there is a phrase that is absolutely true that is used all the time...
WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND....
