    Woke (/wouk/ WOHK) is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) meaning "alert to racial prejudice and
    discrimination"

    Now this conversation is enlightening! Thank you!
    I've heard so many variations of "Woke"...
    More recently "You better "Get Woke., rather than "Stay Woke".

    The rampant use of "Black Twitter" bears a large part of the blame for allowing this element of our culture to be co-opted. Black folks were having conversations on the global platform of Twitter that we previously would have had in spaces that we exclusively control such as barber shops, beauty shops, churches, and our living rooms.

    Let's simply take back our word. WOKE means (stands for): Wilful Observer of Knowledge and Excellence. The origin of language itself as a technology is African. Time is on our side. For example, "man fears time, time fears the pyramids"... This is a famous semitic proverb, Why? Because it postulates hidden knowledge or the proper "squaring of the circle". And the Sphinx sits patiently close by waiting on our culturally ignorant version of humanity to come up with a satisfying answer to the puzzle of the Giza Plateau.

      Thank you. I teach young people and others Geodidactic Narrative Art. It attempts to inspire people to become willful observers of knowledge and excellence by surveying mathematical concepts from the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus (or Ahmes Papyrus 1650 BCE problem #48). Putting respect back in WOKE!

    Simply put, woke became co-opted when our black communities all across America got co-opted through gentrification. As stated in this video, the term woke was specially and still is a black American dialect. STAY UP FAMILY.

    Love your guest Dr.Sunn m. Cheaux..he is Right on, about how we try to fit everything into a binary..What about Both/And.I'm beginning to see binary is the stock & trade of the white Western world. It also has us locked into this frame work which is really a prison of the mind..Also back in the day before the internet & Social Media ,most black slang stayed in the Black community way longer than it does now..for white people did not have access ,to our culture ,for one both groups were highly segregated from each other..We knew more about them because of movies & TV than they knew about us..With social media you now have endless loops ,of information going around the world in a flash..including words like WOKE ,which now can be taken over by the white media to coop & use distort, & define for the masses

    I stopped using the word "woke"
    and just started saying that people are more aware
    wake up
    what's funny is that conservative downplay "woke"
    but they talk about the red pill and the blue pill...
    it's the lack of reading comprehension for me

    Human languages can be traced back to Egyptian (Kemetic) Medu Neter. Medu Neter is "devine speech". It is an Afro-Asiatic language. The letters of the language are made of picture and ideogram type writing. This is the first known form of writing among human beings on planet Earth.
