I agree Bagger, that term was manifested in about 2014 ago by the African American Vernacular English.
What to Know per Miriam Webster Dictionary
Woke is now defined in this dictionary as “aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice),” and identified as U.S. slang. It originated in African American English and gained more widespread use beginning in 2014 as part of the Black Lives Matter movement. By the end of that same decade, it was also being applied by some as a general pejorative for anyone who is or appears to be politically left-leaning.
Our history is just that, something that happened in the past and was recorded. We can learn from our past. What we can do is move forward and stop the prejudice today on both sides. There should be no more segregation on either side by anyone, referencing anyone's skin color, shade, tone or race. Skin color need not be referenced in TV, colleges, parades, holidays or jobs if America truly wants equality for all. jmo
