Without having to watch a video What is Woke?

helenS · 36-40, F

It's a term from black culture that has been taken into the mainstream. It refers to an awareness of social justice and in particular racial issues.
To some, Woke culture is an 'identity obsessed' movement 'fundamentally opposed' to free speech.

It's simply about being aware of injustices within society; racism for example. Unfortunately it tends to be used incorrectly by a whole bunch of people who liken 'woke' to being 'too sensitive'.

I wondered that, never had a convincing explanation, shrugged it off as yet another strange slang term in the USA's (so foreign to me) febrile domestic politics and got on with life!

I don’t have to look it up. I remember it as slang among African Americans for someone who understood and was aware about the history of oppression in the U.S. (and elsewhere) and how the fallout continues to affect people. We were using the term in the 70s but somehow people think it’s new. And they usually get it wrong.

It's that thing that condescending guilty white people demand everyone else gets on board with for fear of being cancelled
