Define "woke"

That's an opinion of a made-up word. Just ask DeSantis what the definition is.
Like many words in the dictionary, the word “woke” has evolved and has more than one meaning. The definition I posted and a similar one posted earlier today reflect how the world is widely used today. The OP asked the for the definition of woke and has gotten answers. Clearly some here don’t like those answers.

Historically, it means something different. As with many things, and with much irony, it was reappropriated from black culture/history

Clearly, you nor anyone else, can define the word you misuse as a weapon when your "traditional" way of life is "threatened."

It makes you the snowflake you label others with.

And also a Karen.
 
"Woke" is hardly ever voiced by anyone under 30, but many older people think it is.
Misunderstandings like this occur in each generation.
I was a late-era hippy. My dad told me my long hair wasn't "with it". He'd heard a middle-aged show host say it, trying to be trendy.
But by the time Woostock came along, no teenager, and especially no hip teenager, would ever use that term.
 
Here’s another clarifying definition of “woke” as it is widely used these days. Very similar to the definition posted by specchio.

“Wokism is the belief that (1) all of society is currently and intentionally structured to oppress, (2) all gaps in performance between large groups illustrate this, and (3) the solution is 'equity' - proportional representation w/o regard to performance.”
That isn't close to how the word is used by anybody who isn't a whackadoo far rightwinger.

Happens with a lot of expressions initially coined by youth. “Cool” started with teens. Then older people appropriated it and teens stopped using it. When my kids were teens, I heard the term “hella.” Couple years later I started hearing boomers using it at work. Some expressions stick and become mainstream across all generations and others die. Really far out man.
 
“Woke” and CRT are also responses / rebuttals to the white racist narrative that CURRENT GROSS disparities between races in America are due to black American’s genetic mental inferiority, laziness, and a proclivity for vice and criminality.

For “some” reason, “certain” white “Americans” really don’t like it when a spotlight is focused on the historical record of discrimination by public and private American institutions (and the racist white majority) that contributed to the CURRENT GROSS disparities between races in America. Hmmmmm…..

That is not the definition that you gave. Its practically the polar opposite. He's wrong and provably so but that's not what you said.

That just shows how far BabyBoobs has fallen.

BabyBoobs has been significantly diminished ever since the “Red Wave” fizzle, the “Twitter fails” and THE FOX “NEWS” SCANDAL, along with President Biden achieving significant legislative victories.

Just wait until the corrupt orange traitor is indicted, yet still crushes Ron “establishment” for the “republican” nomination in 2024. -

BabyBoobs will likely vanish into the ether when that happens.
