Woke - Wikipedia
The term was initially intended to describe the concept of having an open mind and being socially sensitive and alert to injustices against black folks.
It -became- a political insult by bigots against people who were - socially sensitive and alert to injustices against black folks.
On-topic: I saw the original Avatar - have seen it a few times actually, and have it on my hard drive so I can watch it again as often as I like.
I don't go to movie theatres anymore, but I do stream directly into my hearing aides. So I get something significantly superior to "dolby surround sound" - and I can easily immerse myself in my 27" HD computer monitor when I decide to watch the new Avatar movie, after it's released for sale and download.
