"'The woke movement may have started off as a well-intentioned form of 'awakening' but it has devolved into performative art, virtue signaling, cancel culture, and yes, Charles, a kind of cult religion. It has stifled freedom of speech and inquiry at academic institutions (where even tenured faculty are afraid of being canceled), and left otherwise well-meaning folks stuck between the rock of 'silence is violence' and the hard place of 'microaggressions.'"

"At a time when we need dialogue, compassion, forgiveness and reconciliation among races, economic classes, and political parties, we are instead fed a stream of original sin, guilt, self-flagellation, and meaningless statements regarding indigenous land dispossession. And anyone who wants to fast forward to any type of solution is accused of 'fragility.' Madness."

"Black American folk singer-songwriter Huddie Ledbetter, a.k.a. Lead Belly, uses the phrase near the end of the recording of his 1938 song 'Scottsboro Boys', which tells the story of nine black teenagers accused of raping two white women, saying: 'I advise everybody, be a little careful when they go along through there-best stay woke, keep their eyes open'. [14][15] Aja Romano writes in Vox that this represents 'Black Americans' need to be aware of racially motivated threats and the potential dangers of white America.'[16] J, Saunders Redding recorded a comment from an African American United Mine Workers official in 1940, stating: 'Let me tell you buddy. Waking up is a damn sight harder than going to sleep, but we'll stay woke up longer.'[17]
By the mid-20th century, woke had come to mean 'well-informed' or 'aware', [18] especially in a political or cultural sense. [9] The Oxford English Dictionary traces the earliest such usage to a 1962 New York Times Magazine article titled 'If You're Woke You Dig It' [19] by African-American novelist William Melvin Kelley, describing the appropriation of African American slang by white beatniks.

#WebsiteSnopes "The word 'woke' is broadly used to describe a state of being 'aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues especially of racial and social injustice' according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary. While it originated from African American Vernacular English (AAVE) in the early part of the 20th century, the term has become a common part of American slang.
Its usage has evolved and grown so much that conservatives now use it as a pejorative to refer to progressives or left-leaning liberals." [fact-checked]
