Stay woke
含义: A call to remain aware and vigilant about social injustice and deception.
Stay woke is both a cultural rallying cry and practical advice within Black communities. It originally meant staying alert to danger and racial injustice, but broadened to mean maintaining awareness of any systemic issue. It became a protest slogan during the Ferguson protests in 2014.
