I am having problems understanding the meaning of “woke” which appears to be the buzz word these days.

So I asked ChatGPT for a definition with the following result:

The term “woke” is a slang term that originated in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and has since been adopted by mainstream culture. It refers to being aware and knowledgeable about social and political issues, particularly those related to racial and social justice. Being “woke” implies being conscious of systemic injustices and actively working towards addressing and dismantling them. It is often used to describe individuals who are actively engaged in activism, advocacy, and promoting equality.

Now I have to re-read some of the articles and try to make sense of them all.
