Whenever "woke" is brought up.
Please give me your definition of woke, because so far it's been different for everyone I've talked to.
Imo woke means aware
That's what it should mean, but it usually implies political awareness specifically and has been hijacked by several minority groups and their allies to imply that they are wholly in support of whatever the latest minority issue is.
You haven't heard of lgbtbbqx+? I have because I'm woke!
It was originally used by African American groups to describe white allies at the beginning of the last century.
It's evolved to describe any out group that's aware of an in group's problems.
It's been contorted be this decade's scare word that conservative media uses.
