To me woke was, and will always be, a warning from one Black to another.
What you call woke, is a white over-reaction to 2020. People forget, or don't recognize that Blacks are only about 14 percent of the population. What they want only carried weight when others join. But as in most things popular in America, when the popular majority takes hold of something from Black people, it gets appropriated and morphed.
None of this is strange at all. It is the U.S. repeating historic patterns, but in an information age.
Dead right. I will add that around 2020 many white progressives started adopting the term and using it to describe themselves. Then white conservatives started using it as term of derision to describe people that hold many progressive positions, mostly cultural stuff.
