It’s from black culture. You tell your friends to stay woke so that when the cops stop them for no good reason, they remember to treat the cop like a wild animal and be careful around them. If you’re black and you treat a cop like a human being, you’ll get shot. So you gotta stay woke.
that’s why the word was invented, to replace the obvious intolerance for openness
It actually comes from African-American culture and has a history that’s several decades old.
Hahahah that’s what they want you to think. Woke is from like the 60s. Do some research on it. It’s pretty interesting.

… person meant mask. If you call someone a person, you accuse them of playing a role. Fact.
are you saying you’re woke on the subject? I thought it was from rap culture.

Don’t you dare fix that typo.
Yeah that’s definitely going into my vocab now.
Hahahaha no sir
It’s why the word was co-opted by the Far Right, and popularised as an insult. Otherwise they’d have to say “kind”.
