lol some of them. That's the thing. People who reckoned that black folks were less than human would have called people who thought black folks deserved human rights "woke".
@canusernamebemyusername @Pikachu exactly, the same happens in certain uneducated crowds where being book smart and using more sophisticated words is ridiculed and seen as pretentious where its really that being smart makes dumb people feel dumb so they become defensive. "woke" people make conservatives look morally bankrupt so they try to retaliate to maintain the status quo they so need.
That's actually an interesting comparison. I myself have been criticized for using a vocabulary which outstrips that of my counterpart and that can only be a reflexive attack from insecurity, I think it may be that same reflex which causes some far right folks to cry "woke!" as an insult.
Well that's what it means to be woke. It's just a sensitivity to inequality and social justice. But people more close-minded than yourself have decided that any pushback against the status quo is woke and woke is bad.
Definition of woke (Entry 1 of 2) chiefly US slang : aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)
