The term "woke" bugs me like no other.
I'm no grammar Nazi, but I use that Oxford comma...
I'm ok with additions of new words to the commonly used vernacular. However the use of a verb in past tense to represent a state of being....
That's a tough one for me.

Now you got me looking up the etymology of 'woke'. It's interesting, though.

I don't think "woke" comes from that, though. You sound like you read Albion's Seed.

Not directly. I've read other stuff here and there that cited that work, though *NM*

I was familiar with the lyric in the Lead Belly song because I love me some Delta blues.

Wait, so you hate the term 'woke' but you just accused yourself of cultural appropriation?
