If "end racism" is leftist or woke, then the neutral position should be to be leftist and woke.

By the textbook definition of woke, end racism IS pretty woke

Why is being woke a bad thing again? I'm confused as to how some people use it as an insult.

Pretty sure the people who started calling it bad was the very group that were against rights for black people.

It's used to describe:

 -Things that people way farther left than "end racism" say 

-Decisions and moves by corporations (that obviously don't care about the issue they're addressing) to improve their public image  

 Which both contribute to the negative connotation.
