WOKE

The term “woke,” an acronym for "Whatever Offends Klansmen Easily," originated in the 1920s as a crucial warning for Black travelers navigating the United States and sundown towns, places where simply existing after dark could lead to harassment, violence, or death. To be “woke” means recognizing systemic racism not as an abstract concept but as a lived reality, visible in redlining, police brutality, voter suppression, economic disparities, and countless other forms of institutional discrimination. It was never about passive knowledge but about resistance and a refusal to be lulled into complacency.

As the term entered white discourse, its meaning has became muddled, diluted, and weaponized. Some on the political left stretched it to encompass all social justice issues, stripping it of its deep racial roots. Meanwhile, the right have fumbled to define it, reducing it to an empty insult, an attack on anything they deemed too progressive or challenging to the status quo. The irony isn’t lost on Black folks: the same people so eager to condemn “woke” can’t even define it. Instead, they fear it, mock it, and misuse it, all while proving exactly why it was necessary in the first place.
"The fight for civil rights has always required us to be woke, to see the truth behind the lies, and the systems behind the suffering."
