One who is aware of, and actively engages in, discussion about social justice issues.

Originally referring to people within the black community becoming aware of racial in justices and other issues facing African-Americans. The term has been appropriated by both proponents and opponents of the greater international social justice movement.

Coming from the past-tense of wake, implying one has become "woke to the truth of the world" and those who aren't woke remain asleep and unaware.
Ever since Jones became woke he stopped using marginalizing terms for people based on race and sex.

The ability of someone to become outraged at imagined enemies and create ways to be the victim, even though you're insanely privileged. Created by right wing loons, insurrectionist sympathizers, conspiracy folk, and their ilk to create a boogie man.

Woke-

A word currently used to let the entire world know you are a moron.

Most of the people using the word woke to describe themselves as "smart" people who know what is going on in politics and the world, are actually leftist morons who love proven fake news sources like CNN, MSN, ABC, NBC and other heavily biased leftist controlled "news" sources. These ignorant sheep actually think the democrats care about them, and care about this nation which is completely false on multiple levels and has been this way for years now. These are the same "woke" people that also think BLM(marxist) and ANTIFA(communist), are actually good things. When in reality those groups are radical anti-American domestic terrorist groups who just like the left, want to destroy this nation by bringing in those tyrannical and oppression based styles of governments to the US then systematically start taking away many of our rights and freedoms as US citizens....and just like the left these terror groups will attack anyone or anything that goes against this anti-American agenda. The left would love the entire USA to look just like the leftist run cesspools like California and Portland Oregon etc, and that is exactly what will happen if they can voter fraud their way into 2020.
Leftist moron 1 = Ya man Im woke I love BLM and ANTIFA they are fighting for the country!!! Biden 2020 bruh!

Leftist moron 2 = Hell ya breh Im woke too Trump is a nazi white supremacist who eats babies just like CNN told me!
