Did yall know that the term "woke" originated in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and refers to being aware of Social and political issues, particularly those related to racial justice and inequality? White Conservative commentator Bethany Mandel co-authored a whole dang book on the “current Woke indoctrination” supposedly going on around the country. But when asked to define the term at the very center of it, she flopped.  

In recent years, the term has become more widely used and has taken on a broader meaning to describe a heightened awareness of various forms of social injustice and inequality, including those related to gender, sexuality, and economic class. Being "woke" implies a willingness to challenge conventional ideas and attitudes, and to recognize the ways in which systemic injustices can perpetuate discrimination and inequality. It is often associated with activism, social justice movements, and a commitment to dismantling oppressive structures and systems. However, the term has also been criticized by some as being overused and misused, and as a way for people to signal their virtue or moral superiority without actually taking meaningful action to effect change. As with any cultural term or trend, it is important to approach the concept of "woke" with a critical and nuanced understanding of its origins, meanings, and implications.
