White People Ruined "On Fleek" And Now They Took "Woke"
Woke will lose its Blackness, it will fade into whiteness–the same whiteness which assumed the term was just misconjugated verb. ‘Woke’ has been added to the Oxford Dictionary.

@commiequeer the word "woke" was coined by Black activists as a response to the oppression faced by Black people, specifically police brutality -- as explained, repeatedly, by numerous Black activists -- so the fact that you think it's acceptable to use it pejoratively or as some kind of joke is foolish and embarrassing lol
