Oh, I’m aware of the genesis of the term. It’s similar to how Black musicians started calling each other “man,” as in “hey, man,” because they got tired of being called “boy” by whites. It was one way a Black person could be “woke” to social prejudice.
Sorry, didn't mean to even remotely suggest you didn't understand the "woke" origins. Hoped to to provide some background that might be helpful to others in the conversation.

Definitely valuable context that most people don't realize. Thank you for adding it and apologies if I came off as being defensive.
