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.
He thinks minority groups have rights just like us.

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.
Yo, I'm woke enough to see that cracker ain't nothing. Black pride!

woke

A term that was supposed to mean something good (being aware to social injustice and discrimination), but now it has turned into an insult that means "overly sensitive" or "pretending to be woke". Mostly used against the actual pseudo-woke, but sometimes used against ordinary people who have enough ACTUAL wokeness to call out the insult user's blatant racism/sexist/etc.

It practically got ruined by the pseudo-wokeness seen in Twitter warriors and "progressive" companies.

Having enough wokeness to recognize actual bigotry is a good thing, but please don't be a Twitter warrior.
Little sibling who just learned the word "woke": Hey I am proud to be woke

Older sibling: You shouldn't call yourself woke in public or online. That word has turned into an insult used against those pretending to be woke, like in being overly sensitive to the smallest details that are somehow "racist" or "sexist" by some warped logic or by straight-up discriminating against white people and men as an attempt to "counter" discrimination against people of color and women. Long story short they'll think you're oversensitive or even a hypocritical bigot.

Little sibling who now knows why the term "woke" has a stained reputation: Ok thanks for reminding me about this.

WOKE

A term used mostly used by racial separatist. This group of "woke" people insist that the majority of Caucasian people are racist, when in reality it is them, the "woke" who are the racist. Continually they separate people by color of their skin.
