"Wokeness" occurs when a white, upper-class person pretends to hold opinions they imagine a black lower-class person might hold. The word itself is an incorrect tense of "awake" - referring to the perception that the black working class have a poor grasp of grammar.
The opinions that are simulated typically stem from a misunderstanding of the tendency for black working-class people to be slightly more economically left-wing and socially conservative than average - instead they are imagined to be socially left-wing, and often logically inconsistent.

Using an improper word in an incorrect tense to attempt to attach some worldly signifigance to a person or object (books, screenplay, etc.) so that one appears to be "hip." In actual fact, this usage shows one's ignorance and inability to use words and feelings to express oneself properly.

To be awake/illuminated to the most important topics of human existence. These topics are what people are going to read about 100 years from now, things like the American power elite, Donald Trump/Jared Kushner, perpetual warfare, applied quantum physics, advanced AI, aliens, the next world war, nuclear proliferation etc, not stupid shit like affirmative action or utterly meaningless LGBT identity struggles. People who claim to be woke on the latter examples are idiotic charalatans who are still asleep and who will be forgotten by the pages of history (cough SJWs cough).
Being a SJW doesnβt make you woke, understanding the tides and nuances of historical, spiritual and scientific destiny makes you woke.
