It also means to actively protest those issues. We didn't need this modern slang word. Woke should still only mean getting up from sleep.

@pride49 Whether we needed it or not, it exists, and the meaning should not be twisted by those who hate.

@CorvusBlackthorne I'm very proud of being woke. Some people try to make it into a slur but I'm not letting them.

@pride49 Perhaps, [b]you[/b] didn’t need it. But some of us were using the term back during the days of Dr.King and Malcolm. It didn’t become an issue until other folks co-opted it, trying to sound [b]hip[/b]. 🙄

@bijouxbroussard On behalf of those hipsters, I'm sorry.
