In order to make a conscious decision to let a wound heal, you need to be aware that the wound exists. If it itches - don't scratch it. You can't ignore it - because then you might bump against something and it'll open back up again. You have to acknowledge that yes - there is a wound here.
That's what "woke" means. Acknowledging that these things happened, recognizing that they were a symptom of the times they happened in, and that we have evolved since then.
That's all it means, and that's primarily what people who are "woke" are asking everyone to do. People who resist, fight, reject the idea that these things happened, that they were a symptom of the times they happened in, and that we have evolved since then, are stuck in a past they didn't even experience (since it happened before most of us were born).
