Who can explain in plain words what is woke ??

Who can explain in plain words what is "woke" ??
woke  ==> to always be awake, to be ever vigilant
It's slang for: keeping up with the media and knowing what is happening
First  result:

Woke (/ˈwoʊk/), as a political term of African American origin, refers to a perceived awareness of issues concerning social justice and racial justice. It derives from the African-American Vernacular English expression "stay woke", whose grammatical aspect refers to a continuing awareness of these issues.

By the late 2010s, woke had been adopted as a more generic slang term broadly associated with left-wing politics, socially liberal and cultural issues (with the terms woke culture and woke politics also being used). It has been the subject of memes, ironic usage and criticism. Its widespread use since 2014 is a result of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Source Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woke

Klassismus, welches sich auf Vorurteile oder Diskriminierung aufgrund der sozialen Herkunft oder der sozialen Position bezieht.

Bye bye Empowerment: Von der Subkultur zum Mainstream

#StayWoke ist die Mahnung daran, dass es mehr als eine Realität gibt. Eine Erinnerung, die eigenen Privilegien (oder nicht existierenden) zu hinterfragen. Es ist ein Ausdruck, der zum kritischen Denken über soziale Fragen und Ungerechtigkeiten anregen soll. Doch inzwischen ziert der Begriff viele englischsprachige Headlines. Es verwässert die Bedeutung, die Intention. Von der Subkultur verwandelt sich der Begriff zu einem popkulturell Ausdruck von Ironie. Charles Pulliam-Moore beschreibt auf Splinter den Bedeutungsverlust von “woke”, als eine Tragödie. Es sei schmerzhaft. “Wie #SayHerName oder #IfIDieWhileInPoliceCustody war #StayWoke eine Zeit lang ein legitimes Wort für Schwarze, um sich gegenseitig daran zu erinnern, sich die Schwarzen Kämpfe in einer Zeit der systematischen Ungerechtigkeit, bewusst zu sein.” “Woke” bedeutet somit auch: Du bist nicht allein. Doch nun entwickelt es sich zu einer Hülle ohne Substanz.

 

Stay Woke

The new sense of 'woke' is gaining popularity

Update: This word was added in September 2017.

If you frequent social media, you may well have seen posts or tweets about current events that are tagged #staywoke. Woke is a slang term that is easing into the mainstream from some varieties of a dialect called African American Vernacular English (sometimes called AAVE). In AAVE, awake is often rendered as woke, as in, “I was sleeping, but now I’m woke.”
