People might argue about this, but people claiming to be "woke" are the most indoctrinated into the radical far-left wing of the American democrat party. The ironic thing is, these people are as far from being aware of of what is really going on as they can get. Woke people get all of their information from partisan media such as CNN, and MSNBC. The radical left controls most of the media in the USA, including 95%of the news networks, almost all major newspapers, and unfortunately, they control Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, Apple, Google and Amazon. All of these media outlets combined are able to tell the sheep what to think, what to feel, what their opinions are, and who to hate. The radical left have managed to gradually take over the American school system during the past decade, and most all teachers identify as being woke. Those teachers have one mission... to indoctrinate the kids. Schools are no longer focused on education. Some states have actually said they are not going to consider things such as math, reading and writing scores to be able to graduate. Woke thinking says that judging students on these subjects negatively affects minorities so they are removing the testing to allow minorities to pass. Other states have have said they were removing the F grade because of the same reason. This actually makes high school diplomas worthless. It no longer matters if you can read, write, add or subtract. It matters on how inclusive you are and how woke you are to the radical left wing progressive agenda.

Good question, but I really don't know.
I think it's too bad that there's this really derogatory term, which is also attached to something which was originally well-meaning, well-intentioned. The latter is about inclusiveness, and being respectful to all types of people, and however they want to live their life.
But what's since happened is it's turned into this all-encompassing, quite unreasonable, "Accept me as I am" - no matter what. We now have to accept EVERYTHING than anyone wants. And that's not right either.
I don't know that the roots of the term are important though. Everyone pretty much knows the ideological debate now.
The woke movement is complete and total surrender to emotional thought processes, often completely against or even explicitly to spite logical thought. It is packaged and sold like a "revelation" or "awakening," but "degenerate" and "narcissistic" would be more accurate. It's "progressive" in name only, because it also resurrects concepts of racism and sexism taken to extremes that haven't been practiced in this country in nearly a century.
Fools, the lot of them.
I first heard of it about 20 years. When people started to catch on. That companies were spying on us though things called cookies.

"Woke" is slang for "awakened", which is what those people think they are. In fact, they may have coined it themselves, originally, in order to sound hip and cool. Unfortunately, they are anything but. So the term "woke" is now used sarcastically to describe those certain reactionary liberals who embrace every cause that is promoted as liberal, no matter how moronic.
There is even a phrase "Awakened, not woke" to describe people who are informed and use common sense. "Woke" is an embarrassment.It is the latest manifestation of progressive idealism. It incorporates elements from Calvinism: a sense of predestination (the “right side of history”), original sin (the “original sin of racism/slavery”), etc. The strategies and methods that the “woke” use to subvert Western culture were developed for the most part by Gramsci, the Fabian socialists, and the New Left (Marcuse, Horkheimer, Adorno, and others). This is not a baseless conspiracy theory. You can read their work and follow the chain of scholarship and activism that followed them.
My understanding is that it's basically the trend to view words, statements and actions with awareness of how they might negatively affect some group or other. It's an extension of the same train of thought that has made a cute 1970's hippy song about the US being a melting pot that will result in "coffee coloured people by the score" into a shocking collection of racist slurs when viewed today.
It can be taken to extremes, and those are the cases that people amplify to make it sound stupid. Usually by the people who wouldn't have liked that song back in the day, not because of the slurs, but because it was being positive about inter-racial relationships.Origin: People not understanding how grammar works.
Meaning: It's basically just another word for "political correctness" (a phrase that has only ever really been used as a pejorative anyway).I learned a lot in this 5mins just on this post alone 🤣 I don't fellow the news anymore I don't know what the woke is but I just got woke alittle lol but I guess there some good conspiracy communist vendetta shit going on here 😂😂😂 very educational stuff see this is why I like this app :)
The woke movement is "social justice warriors" taking offense at the slightest tweak of their sensibilities, responding to anything that suggests everything that has transpired in US history is NOT due to white supremacy and patriarchy.
Gonna be honest: no idea. I mean, I imagine it means to be alert and with whatever the new and accepted normal is or soemthing to the effect. I don't know.
Division and also a way to take away free speech with all this talk of being offended. If they can ban words like master as they are trying to ban they can ban anything including free speech about gun rights or anything else.
I don't know what it is. I just know that it caused an argument between me and a friend and it's an horrible memory...
The social aspect of supporting the Communist overthrow of the US government.
The only place I hear that term is in the social media like GAG.
Not sure exactly when but it’s some strange movement that is dividing people
The Woke movement is just like BLM you woke up to BLM and the rest of the crazies by shock treatment. You was shock at what you saw so you woke up
the origin is communism. its a communist movement where they replaced class with race. If you want a super in depth understanding of where it comes from who made it and exactly what there ideas are here you go
