"Woke" doesn't mean "manners", and it's really depressing that an AAVE term that used to mean something to us has been bastardized to this extent. The original context was that "woke" meant being "aware" of your place in society as a Black person. It meant that you understood that this place was not meant for you, that you are a colonized person living in a settler colony. It was the opposite of "sleep", which commonly means unaware or not conscious, another word that was interchangeable with woke.

It was white liberals who took the term that was popular amongst us and made it into a joke by claiming to be woke while engaging in performative anti-racism. The chuds caught onto this, and eventually it became a pejorative for things that chuds don't like, and apparently "civility" now.

Yeah no shit I'm talking about spitting like that
