Woke... What does it mean?

[GChief]

A new member asked if they could use woke on this site. Bob said yes, I mentioned, paraphrased "how is it a bad thing". A few others responded. The person asking the question went into anti-woke mode. Bob asked the discussion move to the forum.

So here it is.

How is me, a middle aged white man, being WOKE a bad thing?

How is WOKE as a bad thing not just a term used to stir up the gullible MAGA red hatters?
