Can somebody explain the silly term “woke” to me?

Loosely, "Woke" = "Aware".

It's what all the cool kids are saying.

I think it comes from a mistaken reference by Maxine Waters.......telling people to ‘get woke’ about Trump. Not kidding.

From "The Urban Dictionary"...

A state of perceived intellectual superiority one gains by reading The Huffington Post. ...Ali is so woke. At brunch she explained how wearing anything other than Chuck Taylor's or Tom's is really a microaggression.

Enlightened - beyond the normal curve in progressive thinking. I thought Josh was, you know, woke when it came to expressing his true feelings.
