John Donegan – let’s start first with the actual Merriam-Webster’s dictionary definition of “woke,” which is: (1) past tense and past participle of “wake;” (2) aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice).
Now let’s continue with the actual origin of the term “woke” since it appears you have no clue as to the history of the term but I’ll give you a break on that since I realize that new-world republicans hate history. The idea of “woke” or “wokeness” originated in Black American English in the early 20th century with social activists at the time calling out “Wake up!” to global Black citizens to become more socially and politically conscious.
