I feel there really isn't any such thing as a "woke" man. Black or otherwise.

Sure there is. If he's not sleeping, he's awake.
Wait. You're not one of those "the universe is all just a dream" nutjobs, are you?

"Woke" as in "awakened consciousness". It's AAVE, possibly of recent coinage.
They're referring in this case to community consciousness, awareness of social and political problems, current affairs, etc. Not hippie nonsense. Yes, it is AAVE. Merriam-Webster will tell you, and I quote, "'Woke' is increasingly used as a byword for social awareness."
Last large usage by RightWingers when referring to those who have "realized how horrible Islam is" (Their propaganda)
Currently and more aptly mostly used when referring to Trump voters who have finally realized what a huge lying ass he is.
Definitely still a RW word as they like to imply liberals are dreamers living in a fantasy world but Conservative know instinctively or even divinely what's really going on or a smert enuff to trust RW sources to tell them.
So are all guys, regardless of skin-color, perpetual sleepwalkers or something?
Frankly; IMHO, a Progressive is a lot more "woke" than an idiot who can't think in shades of grey, wants to kick the poor and sick while they are down, let the bad apple spoil the bunch, want to solve EVERYTHING with violence without trying non-violent means first and think some folks are inherently better than others regardless of character.
Progressives/Feminists/Open-Minded folks have taken the REAL "Red Pill".
Regressives prefer their "Blue Pills" of "Business as usual/Status Quo/Antiquated values".
If these guys can steal a goofy cartoon frog....then we can steal back those darn Red & Blue Pills.
"Woke" is indeed an AAVE term, referring to those aware of social issues. This here is a nice exhibit of "Tumblr syndrome" - the belief that people from an "oppressor class" are inherently evil, cannot be your friends and deserve nothing but mockery.
Yeah, I knew what they meant. "Woke" is not a fucking adjective, though, and I refuse to pretend that their poor English is anything more than precisely that. The adjective is "awake".
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
