Guys, what does it mean to "stay woke, fam"??

[GimpyIntellect]

I keep hearing this bizarre expression and have no idea what it means.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks.

Yo, if Sukit_Beatch was 'round, he'd know.

 

[BabblingBrooke]

Woke = being aware of what's going on in the community (local community, global community)

Fam = the people you trust and feel like they are your family

 

[Pookie]

'Sup, Brooke.

 

[BabblingBrooke]

Yo, Pookie

Fam = the people you trust and feel like they are your family

I'll have to wait and see if Lance agrees.

He's my go-to guy when it comes to street vernacular.

He grew up in the hood, you know.

Makes sense

Woke = being properly indoctrinated in whatever corner of identity politics that you occupy.

Fam = people who share your intersectionality of oppression.

As a white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant, straight, cis-gendered male, I am incapable of being fully woke even if I were to agree with all of the above.

I am forbidden to have "Fam" of "my kind" because that would be racist.

On the way home to the barrio where I live, I saw an Hispanic male with a goofy-looking car. On the back window he had "Viva La Raza", a Mexican flag, and "Fuck Racism" without any trace of irony.

He is fully woke, and down for his fam.

FYP for clarity.

Smooth was the best thing to ever happen to this place.

Hopefully he gets released soon.

What if sleeping is our natural state and we're only awake to gather information for our dreams?

Stay woke, fam.

As educational infrastructure crumbles before the engine of the relentless political correctness of the left we find the vernacular of the most advanced nation on Earth reduced to inquiries into the mumbo jumbo of lowbrow ignorance.

 

[Rightguide]

Makes sense

There's probably a place on Earth where "Uugga booga " makes sense too.

Who let the cracker in the thread?

Flashing defines you.

 

[Pookie]

Yo Gimp, what kinda place you runnin'?

 

[TalkRadio]

Freedom of speech means setting words free. Imprisoned and freed words are consequential. All words have consequences.

Who let the cracker in the thread?

Change your mind?

 

[GimpyIntellect]

Yo Gimp, what kinda place you runnin'?

Don't blame me.

I'm just minding my own business trying to educate myself.

I live to learn, pookie.

Nobody in the actual hood or the barrio speaks like that. It's always people who learn to talk like that on a Pell grant and are forever aggrieved at the way society mistreated them.

 

[raindancer]

Crackahs!

I continue to be puzzled by Smooth.

He was never mean and none of the personal info that I leaked about myself came back to bite me, for him to be an alt of someone who clearly can't stand me.

But he often sounded too mature to be just 23.

My "is he an alt of some GB regular" paranoia eventually got in the way and sucked the joy out of interacting with him.

Wrong.

Lance grew up in the mean streets of Canada.

He once confided in me that the only thing that kept him warm at night was is very, very big penis.
