Woke

A state when a person is aware of world problems (such as racism, wars, homophobia etc...) and shows compassion towards its victims.

Woke has unfortunately been bastardised by conservatives into an insult to people (mostly to everyone that isn't conservative).

While being woke just means being aware and accepting people how they are and having basic human decency and empathy (and empathy was, is, and always will be a good thing).

Be kind.

woke

These days if you're not considered racist enough you get called "woke," which is apparently considered an insult -- at least, the racists think it's insulting. The rest of us, not so much.

woke

"Woke" describes anyone who understands the following...
If a white person participates in a different culture, that's called cultural appropriation.
If a white person doesn't participate in a different culture, that's called non-inclusive.
If a white person moves into a neighborhood populated by minorities, that's called gentrification.
If a white person moves out of a neighborhood populated by minorities, it's called white flight.
If a white person pays attention to skin color, that's called racism.
If a white person doesn't pay attention to skin color, that's called ignoring racism.

Basically "woke" means understanding white people can't do anything good simply because they were born with white skin.
