Stop bragging about being "woke." Stop saying "woke."

Can some millennial out there explain what "bragging about being woke" means?

There's also a connection to the movie The Matrix, wherein the hero is given a choice to take the blue pill and stay in sub-conscious simulated lala land, or take the red pill and wake up and see reality for what it really is. So, "woke" and "red pilled" are similar terms.

Uh, you “woke” up to the fact that you are blessed with white privilege? Just a SWAG. Of course to these assclowns, you’re awakening (woke) is probably another micro or nano aggression and bigly racis’. There is NO winning scenario with them.

Being Woke means being aware.. Knowing whats going on in the community

Person 1: Stop bringing racism into everything
Person 2 : Your clearly not woke
