Woke passing 

A person who is good at using language to appear "woke" in situations that benefit them. But when the time comes, they expose themselves as the average problematic low-key racist that they are.
Did you see that Twitter activist interacting with racists and saying that we have to hear both sides. She's totally woke passing

woke shaming 

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”

Woke Nibba Hours 

During sad nibba hours (2-4) this takes places anytime during this period. This is different from sad nibba hours because you enter a deeper stage of thought beyond all of the sadness. Many men after this believe to finally be "woke".
Steve's gone way too far into it man, i think hes finally entered woke nibba hours.
