Looks to me like you pay too much attention to RW sources. "Woke" predates anything Fox has to say about, it by a long time. I don't rely on Fox to define anything for me. So please tell me what is racist about Woke. Besides the racist reactionary foaming-at-the-mouth RW insults to people seeking racial equality and justice.
