It was a very intentional attempt to appropriate the word, while also using it as a dog whistle. You can say you hate "woke," while meaning you're actually a racist.
You're joking, right? "Stay woke" has been a phrase since forever.
I didn’t know it’s origin was AAVE
I'm not woke, I'm half asleep!
Eepy!
