"Woke" is simply a new slang for old school positive values, manners, & moral conduct, traits of good character.
And because it represents caring & awareness, inclusivity & doing the right thing, it's used in a derogatory way by bullies whose control is diminished by embracing such values. #woke

The term "woke" ain't new. Actually, it's quite old.
