Actually, the origin of “wokeness”, the term, is right-leaning bigots who need to discount any grievance by any group of people who claim they might just possibly be suffering some systemic disadvantages in this country.

Nope. It was a term of respect and affirmation in the African American community first, and seems to have been successfully expropriated and rebranded.

That sounds right to me, too. Five years ago someone of color could say to a white guy "if you're not down, you're at least woke" and mean it as a compliment. Not sure what the new way to say that would be.
