Does anyone else know what Woke means?

If someone says they are woke they are not woke. But who ever they said that to is not woke either. Someone who says they are are not, they are pretending. They may be trying to be woke but they are not. Woke is something spiritual not political. The most woke people in history (one of which you might no think of as woke) are Siddarth aka Buddha, Jesus Christ, Gondi, and Marry Magdoline.

It’s old AA slang, basically meant to be aware of our struggle and recognize the situation. If you [b]ever[/b] heard someone white described as "woke" it basically meant they were trusted. I also grew up during the Civil Rights Movement and remember hearing our older people say "Stay Woke !" It wasn’t until this century that the mainstream community co-opted the term and redefined it as something ugly.
@bijouxbroussard Don't they always, though?
@bijouxbroussard well said.
