I first heard about the word when a SJW I knew from college self righteously posted about how only black people are allowed to use the word because it came from African American English. My reaction was... "Woke? As in I woke up this morning?""I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

I was at a planned parenthood training recently and one of the attendee's thought we shouldn't use intersectional because the term was first used by a black academic talking about the black community and that we were therefore appropriating the term. Suffice to say I disagreed strenuously. That intersectional was first brought up talking abour racial and financial issues doesn't mean we can't use the concept for other issues.
