Woke is AAVE slang??? Today I learned…

Also all the more ironic that chuds call everything they don’t like “woke” lmfaooo

It was a very intentional attempt to appropriate the word, while also using it as a dog whistle. You can say you hate "woke," while meaning you're actually a racist.

You're joking, right? "Stay woke" has been a phrase since forever.

I didn’t know it’s origin was AAVE

I'm not woke, I'm half asleep!
