To continually be mindful of important issues of racial, gender, ethnic, cultural, social and economic justice. To raise the social and cultural consciousness
For many staying woke has created a collective social consciousness that has protected marginalized groups and communities. For a small segment who doesn't have a clue as to what staying woke means, they have devolved into a divisive call-out culture which has created a new form of social divisiveness.

First used in 1938 by Huddie William Ledbetter βLead Bellyβ in Scotsboro Boys. The phrase was repeated, by a union official, in 1940 to J Saunders Redding, who used it in an academic article in 1942. When Redding wrote βstay wokeβ, he meant stay alert for injustice, discrimination, prejudice, unfairness, to anyone, irrespective of race, colour, religion, sexual orientation or anything else.
When Redding said "Stay Woke!" He meant is as an injunction, a wake-up call, not the entry to a club or a fashion accessory.

Deriving from "stay awake," to stay woke is to keep informed of the shitstorm going on around you in times of turmoil and conflict, specifically on occasions when the media is being heavily filtered- such as the events in Ferguson Missouri in August 2014.
The headlines say they looted McDonald's, but they won't tell you about the tear gas the police threw at the crowds, or the fact that they needed the milk from the McDonald's to treat the effects of it. Stay woke.
