I first heard the term from my ex-wife when she was involved with black politics in Chicago in 2014. At that time their definition was firmly in the "awareness of racial and social injustice". It was seemingly later twisted to mean hypocrisy or hyper political correctness. Redefining it seems to have nerfed any effect it once had.

That is not incompatible with pg's definition, if "raising awarenesss" dominates "doing something about it".

>>hyeonw+yS1
He said the word woke *described* the "awareness of racial and social injustice". He didn't say it was a mechanism for "raising awareness".

Let me ask you this: How does one, in your mind, do "something about it?"

PG's article focuses on "woke" as a kind of performative morality and you've gone out of your way to try an unify this original definition of "woke" with Paul's performative definition.

Was "woke" being used performatively in the 1930's when black folk advised other black folk to "stay woke" when traveling in certain parts of the country that were hostile to their existence?

When does the original definition start becoming incompatible with Paul's half-assed definition in your mind?
