    No such thing as woke buddy, even liberals don’t use that word. He’s simply benevolent

      I thought woke came from black culture as a way to describe knowing about the history of oppression that is left out of mainstream education.

      You know, things like the Tulsa massacre, the MOVE bombing, the Tuskegee medical experiments, and so on.

      As in, “don’t sleep through life believing the fantasy painted by your oppressors… wake up! get woke!”
