The Slang Meaning Of 'Woke'

From The Urban Dictionary

Woke

The act of being very pretentious about how much you care about a social issue

"Wokeness" occurs when a white, upper-class person pretends to hold opinions they imagine a black lower-class person might hold. The word itself is an incorrect tense of "awake" — referring to the perception that the black working class have a poor grasp of grammar.

Self-righteousness masquerading as enlightenment.
