History lesson: In the 1940s 'woke' was first used by African Americans to literally mean becoming woken up or sensitized to issues of justice. It was used in subsequent decades, it meant "being aware of the truth behind things ‘the man’ doesn’t want you to know”.
"the White liberals aren’t White people who are for independence, who are liberal, who are moral, who are ethical in their thinking, they are just a faction of White people who are jockeying for power the same as the White conservatives are a faction of White people who are jockeying for power. Now they are fighting each other for booty, for power, for prestige and the one who is the football in the game is the Negro. Twenty million Black people in this country are a political football" -Malcolm X
