What does “being woke” actually mean?

Trump fans, Desantis fans are always knocking people or companies (Disney) for being or catering to a “woke” audience or “woke customers

So can someone please explain to me what the term “woke” means? Give me the Oxford dictionary type definitions of what woke is and explain to me why “being woke” is so bad?

Does that also mean that showing sympathy to someone in distress and offering support is a “woke” thing to do?

Coca Cola telling white employees to act less white

@Patriot96 So even though Coca Cola has vehemently denied that it was part of their diversity training, and was only positioned on LinkedIn Learning where Coke does position some of their required training, you're still gonna' run with it, huh 'murican?
Didn't even think about finding out the truth on that one, right? Just needed an enemy so you could play your poor me game.
Serious question. What the fuck are you so afraid of dude? How do people become such cowards? I'm really curious. I keep fear out of my life but guys like you run to it like flies on shit. Always wondered what happened to make you patriots so weak. Let me know if you can.

@Patriot96 You have no comprehension of the meaning of the word woke. Even after it has been defined numerous times by numerous individuals, you still have no clue.

@LordShadowfire how about this
Male athletes pretending to be female competing against women

@Patriot96 Nope. That's not remotely woke. You've had it defined for you numerous times, yet you keep using the word to describe whatever it is that you personally hate.

@LordShadowfire you missed the point.
Wokeness would be justice for the women who were forced to compete against a fraud maggot
