To be "woke" is to come into the realization of systematic social and political injustice that is still prevalent in today's society. And once this enlightenment is reached, this person should show this through their actions, i.e. protesting, political involvement, community engagement, ect.
Also meaning, that if you see someone being victimized through racism, sexism, or bigotry, you should take a stand IN THAT MOMENT and help to put an end to the confrontation. By asking the aggressor to leave and if that doesn't happen, and the victim is still being abused by this person. Then it's within your rights to protect the victim by putting the racist jerk on his / her ass.

Rodrick - I can't believe the shear number of police shootings of unarmed black men and woman over the past two years!
Dewight - Rodrick, it's unfortunate but, white people have been killing our black brothers and sisters from the moment they first came down from Northern Europe and realized that they were new comer to this world. (circa 740AD) From that point the so-called "white" people of this world (earth) have been faking it until they can make it. But "whites" don't realize that no one believes that B.S. of a show, G.O.T. on HBO and black people never bought that reality show, that they call the British Monarchy. Also Rodrick, if you know any Western Europeans tell them bitches they all still owe us rent money for that land she and her people still living on, and tell them we coming to collect.
And to the people saying that the term "Woke" is not grammatically correct and that we should be using "awake". You should know that regardless of that grammar error, You should know that regardless of that the consciousness is there and we are not going anywhere, If we see racist aggression you will be "CHECKED" and you'll wind up getting exposed for the fascist you are.

Get the wokingmug. When this term became popularized, initially the meaning of this term was when an individual become more aware of the social injustice. Or basically, any current affairs related like biased, discrimination, or double-standards.
However, as time passed by, people started using this term recklessly, assigning this term to themselves or someone they know to boost their confidence and reassure them that they have the moral high grounds and are fighting for the better world. And sometimes even using it as a way to protect themselves from other people's opinion, by considering the 'outsider' as non-woke. While people that are in line with their belief as woke. Meaning that those 'outsiders' have been brainwash by the society and couldn't see the truth. Thus, filtering everything that the 'outsider' gives regardless whether it is rationale or not.
And as of now, the original meaning is slowly fading and instead, is used more often to term someone as hypocritical and think they are the 'enlightened' despite the fact that they are extremely close-minded and are unable to accept other people's criticism or different perspective. Especially considering the existence of echo chamber(media) that helped them to find other like-minded individuals, thus, further solidifying their 'progressive' opinion.

3rd paragraph
"Fatphobic?! Misogyny?! What's wrong with preferring a thin woman?! And she is morbidly obese for god sake! Why should I be attracted to her?! Why should I lower myself while she refuse to better herself?! These woke people are a bunch of ridiculous hypocrite!"

Get the Wokemug. A view of the world not based on one’s own truth (i.e. standpoint epistemology), but grounded in data, reason, and universal principles.
I’m Not Woke. I agree racism exists and has caused disparities, but evidence doesn’t support it as the source for all inequality of outcome.

Get the Not Wokemug. Umbrella term for individuals who are engrossed by social justice and thinks of themselves as saviors with a moral high ground, but remain willfully ignorant to the irrationality of their claims and the problems they create. These individuals give special treatment to certain minorities in hopes of ending racism and perpetuate mental illnesses as the norm.
My son's woke kindergarten teacher taught him that he's actually a girl because he played with dolls.
