A slang term used to describe someone who is awake, as in aware; enlightened; brought out of the darkness; the blinders having been removed; having taken the "red pill" (a reference to The Matrix) wherein the person is brought out of a false reality into actual reality; finally seeing the big picture; no longer asleep about an issue; someone who finally gets it.
He finally realized the issue that in American the problems we are facing are being pushed by the far-Left narrative, which has hijacked the term "liberal," the media, the education system, and the Democrat party. He is woke.

today woke means the opposite of what it used to mean. being woke today means to be indoctrinated and brainwashed by the left and to find social injustice and racism in eveything especially when there is none at all. (their job is to make it all about racism or some other form of hatred towards minorities). it means to have the victim mentality and expect everyone else to have the victim mentality (unless you're white). it means to hate white people for no reason while claiming its not racism because hating white people isn't racist. it means to favor tiny minority groups and segregate them from white people. it is about cramming lifestyles of gay people and other morally corrupt minorities in the public's face (especially children) and demanding you accept them.

Economically enforcing racial and gender tolerance (but only selectively) and transforming racism into a nebulous term so that can be applied to literally every facet of human life.
Hym "The problem with wokeness is that the people you are supposedly helping are in THE EXACT SAME PLACE they were 7 years ago. And it isn't the racism. It's YOU. Completely politically ineffective. And I'm mixed race by the way. You're literally letting white people steal credit for the creation of A.I. and they're stealing it from a racial super-minority. You're letting them do that right now. You want equity... UNLESS you don't like the minority that suceeds. Then that guy can go fuck Hymself and then white apartheid-state nepotism retard and the genocidal zionist jews can just have his shit. That's par for the course though isn't it? Blatant intellectual property theft from white people against minorities? They own all the corn!"
