I hear this term often these days, so I finally decided to look up the definition and see exactly what it meant. It seems we hear it mainly as a negative thing, yet when I looked up the term in the dictionary, it does not seem so negative. While looking online at dictionary.com, I found that woke means: having an active awareness of systemic injustices and prejudices, especially those involving the treatment of ethnic, racial, or sexual minorities; promoting inclusive policies or ideologies that welcome or embrace ethnic, racial, or sexual minorities.
Good post. I wondered what on earth that means, then when I read it, why on earth anyone would think that would be a bad thing. Right up there with Black Lives Matter. Why on earth would anyone take issue with that???
Good post Michael...my wife makes buttons, and locally folks have been wanting a button that says, "WOKE: And Proud of It"....yes, we should be proud to be woke. It beats the alternative by a long shot.
