Woke

1.) A catchphrase used for decades (often as a joke) in the African American community when spotlighting examples of veiled racism hidden in social margins.

2.) Around 2016, in a blatant display of absolute racial arrogance, the word was appropriated by conservatives to be used as a pejorative term for the general support of racial equality and inclusion.

1.) “Pretextual stops and ‘Terry Frisks’ laws are all about letting cops stop and harass young black men. Stay woke!”

2.) “I’m so sick of Woke Hollywood making more and more movies with blacks and female actors!”
