My question is how did the term “Woke” become associated with blacks and transgenders lol

@Roundandroundwego true. Many individuals who claim to be “conscious” use this terminology to describe themselves as being aware of the injustices that is happening in the world around them, now it is also coupled with the “DEI” movement.

@Heavenlywarrior of course. The two political parties in the USA and the mainstream of the population are against enlightenment because it will quickly destroy the illusion of legitimacy their empire seems to have.
The population follows the same political movement that the tech bro billionaires follow, they're at war against all the social progress of the past two centuries.
The emancipation of colonized states through independence movements and the emancipation of individuals through universal suffrage and universal human rights movements had led to an audible global set of demands for an even more peaceful and egalitarian, multi-polar world. The West wants a unipolar non egalitarian world.
