    No, we know what it is. Y’all don’t because when you ask and we answer you don’t listen, because in your subculture it’s shameful to listen to those you disagree with.

    Nobody is confused in our circles when we say “woke” what we’re referring to. The reason you don’t get what we mean is you haven’t tried to get it

      you just confirmed what the other poster was saying. you have co-opted the word woke, and expanded the set of things it applies to. it is a label you use rather than the descriptive signifier it represented in the circles you weren’t really aware of before the word entered your lexicon. you don’t understand its word origins because you think you and your crowd own it. the people you’re saying don’t know what it means are who you appropriated it from
