"The evolution of the word "woke""


          

So it's been completely co-opted now. It's either a derogatory label or it's used sarcastically.

But my memory is fuzzy on this. Was it ever a serious term? Was there ever a time people used "woke" earnestly?

Was Childish Gambino's hook serious or jokey?
