Thanks to the commenter who reminded me that it's not bad to be reminded that the term is only a pejorative because conservative racists made it so.

Being woke means being aware of the societal injustices in the world. The opposite of sleeping on something

"Stay woke" means "keep paying attention"

Which is why it's hilarious when the right says they're anti-woke. Like a child who thinks the monster goes away if they cover their eyes
