Get the romantically woke mug.Real definition: The state of being aware about systematic racism
According to the far-right: Anything that's not as KKK-esque as sending Blacks, Latinos, Asians, LGBTQ members, neurodivergents, and other innocent groups of people they hate for no reason into unspeakably cruel death camps bad enough to make even the likes of Hitler, Stalin, and Hirohito recoil in disgust. (obvious overexaggeration but you get what I mean)

Literal Neo-Nazi: "OH MY GOD TRANS PEOPLE ARE ONLY BEING BANNED FROM SPORTS AND NOT DRAWN AND QUARTERED AS WELL!?!?!?!?!?!?!? WOKE ALERT WOKE ALERT WOKE ALERT!!!!!!!!!!"
Half-decent person with an IQ over 69: "If anything that is the opposite of woke. God the far-right disgusts me and I hope it burns to the ground metaphorically and literally."

Get the woke mug.Woke means paying attention to whats being done in your name, to your life, in your community, to your neighbors, in your country, in our world. It means taking a stand against injustice where ever it presents. And continuing to strive even if its not personal or apparent.
Its voting in the primary and midterms, not just every four years, for a candidate whose record you have researched. And staying on your representatives to be sure the will of the People is first and foremost on their agenda...
Woke originated in the Black Community.
A 1962 New York Times Magazine article titled "If You're Woke You Dig It" by Black novelist William Melvin Kelley, describing the appropriation of African American slang by white beatniks. While I can understand the author's irritation at their appropriation I can also hear echoes of Divide and Conquer.
The powers that be much prefer the status quo. They cannot stand against the People United.
Woke means being mindful of your influence and never never ever giving up. Striving for the best world that can be. It means having principles and ideals, not just opinions. Woke is sometimes seen as passive but #StayingWoke is being knowledgeable and aware of where your power lies. Knowledge is Power and what is Power if it is not used?

My mother told me its about money, not color. The minute you let them fool you, they've won.
My mother was woke.
