What is woke? What is all the fuss about?
The term woke originated in the African American community and was documented as far back as the early twentieth century referencing an awareness to danger, injustice, and discrimination. In the modern era woke has been adopted by other marginalized communities that experience danger, injustice and discrimination.
Woke has been demonized by some to imply that awareness, caring, and empathy are a bad thing. Woke has become the catch-all term for everything conservatives dislike in the USA. Woke is not a bad thing. Woke is okay!
What does woke mean?
Woke means you are aware.
Woke means you care.
Woke means you are empathetic.
Woke means you are fair.
Woke is okay!
