@shaythethey: Seeing how white America has co-opted the word woke makes my skin crawl. Being woke is not a bad thing nor is it a new movement. Being woke as always had a history in Black American advancement in particular. There is a deep linguistic history behind this word and it’s usage going back to our very first introduction into this nation via forced enslavement. #learnhistoryontiktok #linguistics #woke #BlackTikTok #shaythethey
I'm so woke I need regular naps, y'all 😭 This world is EXHAUSTING

They’re “woke” for Lindsay Clancy’s case, but turn a blind eye to Nolan Wells’s case. It’s so disturbing how they emulate everything we do and say, but refuse to acknowledge that Black culture is fundamentally the background of the American culture. They can’t accept that when they look in a mirror, they see us too.

Turning “woke” into something negative is just one of many things they don’t understand and therefore create a negative stereotype around it— remember, cornrows weren’t accepted until Kim K started wearing them.

But today in 2026 it has several different meanings. Like I’m not woke as in I’m trying to wake up

Only in 2026 America would being self aware and embodied be ostracized. Because those attributes immediately weaken colonization. GREAT READ. This bothers me so…

is “woke” completely unrelated to the sunken place or are those in the sunken place inherently not woke? i apologize if it’s irrelevant or not my business.

White supremacists are excellent at semantic hijacking and pejoration.
