woke shaming is when white people shame other white people for not being woke enough, resulting in silence or inaction, which perpetuates problems of racial injustice.
woke shaming between white people serves the narrative of "being part of the problem or not". It has absolutely nothing to do with the solution.
Example:
- you’re afraid to share information or ask a question out of fear of being met with a “well actually” response from your more woke friends
or:
- you share information with good intention without realizing your less woke friends will feel stupid (which they probably deserve to, but ask yourself- does feelings stupid inspire action and solution? Or does it just make you feel better about how woke you are??)
-someone asks you a question and the first thing you do is point out the problems in their logic/assumptions
Solutions:
-thank people for their questions, acknowledge their effort
-don’t be a “well actually” person. ever.
-repost/share information that perpetuates positivity and action/direction
-don’t look into the past at all. None of this “well you never cared before” or “I’ve cared all along” or “I care better or harder than you” bullshit
NOTE:
-if a POC makes you feel ashamed of your ignorance, IT'S OKAY. just listen and learn. The point is, whether or not shame or guilt is warranted as a feeling, it does not inspire action. Woke white people shaming other white people just makes it all about white people and guess what, IT'S FUCKING NOT.

“I posted the anti-racism reading list on my story, but then deleted, it after all the woke shaming I received from my friends who actually went to the protest”

When you try to position yourself as woke to impress the people around you or when you actively go against facts and science to push your bullshit ideology
"Kunta kente hasta Amma lakem, my brotha! Vaccines kill people and give babies autism #staywoke"
"Shut up fake woke ass up."
---
"White genocide is real! They're trying to impregnate all our women! #stayawake #1488"
"The racists are trying to be fake woke now that we don't care about skin color anymore."

A woke bae is a boyfriend or (usually male) significant other who is progressive and enlightened in general. He is aware of current events and is sympathetic to plights against racism and sexism.
"My boyfriend suggested we go to the Women's March on January 21st. I guess you could say I've got a woke bae."

The Woke Folk are predominantly; white, middle class, and relatively wealthy. These people are so utterly obsessed with how other people see them: That they spend their whole lives virtue signalling, and engaging in fashion statement politics. They are so determined to present themselves as; progressive, altruistic, and outraged by injustice: They will jump onto any and every, pseudo political bandwagon, the mainstream media, and education system tell them to.

Fake woke is when someone tries to discredit actual facts then pretend their ideology on the matter is true. Fake Woke has been a trend ever since in the Age of Informationpeople, hackers, whistle blowers have given the public information that has been kept secret overtime; so the government has given the green light on private agencies (Facebook Cambridge Analytica/Meme “creators” as an example) to create posts, articles contradicting actual facts/truths. People known as sheeple who think they know but do not know begin to share and spread those memes and articles of the falsified information all over the net, creating two sides of the Woke trend keeping the actual truth/actual woke people buried under all the gibberish of false information accomplishing the governments agenda of keeping the masses divided, confused and away from the actual FACTS.
CoronaVirus is fake, it barely killed anyone. It’s just to make people panic.
But it’s actually 10x lethal than the flu, killed more people that SARS and MERS in just two months, has spread to 6 continents. You’re being fake woke
