Wokeness Def

What it is:

Etymology:
From woke +‎ -ness.
Noun

wokeness (uncountable)
(US, slang)

A state of being aware, especially of social problems such as racism and inequality:

I would have used ‘equity’ instead of ‘inequality’. Either way, too much of a good thing can, and frequently does, go horribly wrong.

From Cambridge

op ed from Harvard student. ‘Why ‘I’m not woke‘ 2018 R. Dolgin

Let’s quit with ‘the left’ and ‘the right’ and just get back to being Americans 🇺🇸
