Ain’t really slang but I’ll never forgive what white people did to the word “woke”. Took a powerful/deep meaning word of context and shriveled it down to some alt right buzz word
Not only that used it against us.

It’s right there on social media for these folks to take. And they’re going to take it and try to use it to sell shyt back to us. You’re giving them the game for free and wonder how they’re winning with it.
