'The belief that one is more enlightened, their intentions purer and more correct, and that what they say, do, or practice is always in the best interest of whomever they deem as worthy or in need of it, usually a minority group and/or a financial demographic'
Woke person A: "I believe we must empower said group, and only listen to people of said group, as they are less represented, and I care about championing and giving a voice to people!"
Woke Person B: "What about the other group from the other demographic, who have a conflicting opinion?"
Woke Person A: "Well uh, um, t-they are bad and their views don't matter! Like I said, I champion and give a voice to people, b-but not those other p-people! Shut up!"

Get the Wokemug. Woke means paying attention to whats being done in your name, to your life, in your community, to your neighbors, in your country, in our world. It means taking a stand against injustice where ever it presents. And continuing to strive even if its not personal or apparent.
Its voting in the primary and midterms, not just every four years, for a candidate whose record you have researched. And staying on your representatives to be sure the will of the People is first and foremost on their agenda...
Woke originated in the Black Community.
A 1962 New York Times Magazine article titled "If You're Woke You Dig It" by Black novelist William Melvin Kelley, describing the appropriation of African American slang by white beatniks. While I can understand the author's irritation at their appropriation I can also hear echoes of Divide and Conquer.
The powers that be much prefer the status quo. They cannot stand against the People United.
Woke means being mindful of your influence and never never ever giving up. Striving for the best world that can be. It means having principles and ideals, not just opinions. Woke is sometimes seen as passive but #StayingWoke is being knowledgeable and aware of where your power lies. Knowledge is Power and what is Power if it is not used?

My mother told me its about money, not color. The minute you let them fool you, they've won.

Get the Wokemug. An insult thrown by those who are disgusted at the ideology they may not be the supreme race, country or gender, and want to find a way to justify their facist, homophobic, misogynistic and racist views by putting the blame on the innocent. The people that use this word are the people who cheer when refugees and asylum seekers die at sea. If someone accuses you of being woke, they actually mean, you’re not enough of a cunt

I became woke when I realized every aspect of life was not as I thought.
My life became a lie when I became Woke.
I became Woke when I realized that artists, and people in power are modern day philosophers, and are woke themselves.

Get the Wokemug. "WOKENESS"🤔 refers to a contemporary ideology rooted in Critical Theory, race, and identity politics, often infused with elements of Marxism, which emphasizes a hierarchical view of victim-hood and collective identity. This ideology tends to prioritize group identities over individual agency, leading to an overemphasis on identity categories such as race, gender, and sexual orientation. Critics argue that "wokeness" fosters a culture of victim-hood, promotes intolerance towards differing viewpoints (commonly known as "cancel culture"), and undermines the principles of individualism and meritocracy. Furthermore, it is often associated with policies and practices that prioritize diversity over qualifications, potentially leading to reverse discrimination and the devaluation of excellence and achievement.
Why did Woke Colin Kaepernick join a dating app? He wanted to find someone who would take a knee for him, just like he did for social justice!

Get the Wokemug. When one goes woke, and doesn't realise, but keeps trying to be more woke, and eventually loses all dignity and accepts they are now permanently woked....and cannot be saved. Once you go full woke....well.
