The past participle of "wake' is "woken".

"Woke" is the preterite.

Calling oneself "woke" is bad grammar.

Being aware or "hip" is being "woken" or "awoken".

Being "woke" is being illiterate and stupid.

I now see, based on this, that a lot of our problems stem from giving twenty-somethings too much power. They run (ran) companies like Facebook and Twitter. Back in the day, people had to put in their time and work their way up the ladder and by that time they were not in their twenties any longer.
