From my understanding it likely means money lenders and landlords, in places like NY. Yeah, a lot were shit.
As far as I understand it, many blacks are angry at people running businesses in black communities, like bodegas and stores, because these supposedly exploit the black community and take up the space for black businesses. The word 'businesses' would suggest that, rather than money lenders and landlords.
Not you too antonio? You, dev, Lindsey and Triggernometry
That's where I got it. I don't agree with how broadly they use it, but there are some seriously nutty people in the online right. There was someone here, RaceCreatesCulture, who unironically argued that white women should be raped by minorities.
He was a ghostwriter, even the nyt admits it: https://archive.is/Ykfga . wikipedia too, crediting him as a co-writer of the dream speech.
That is not a 'handler'. Though I suppose it's a good thing, because no one takes seriously someone who claims that MLK had a 'Jewish handler'.
From a purely PR perspective that is a monumental embarrassment of a phrase, you're using the exclusive language of two groups you're denigrating to insult them. Everyone outside of those groups has been cringing every time someone says "woke [anything]" for like the past five years so it's a phrase that is either incredibly out of touch, or is engineered to annoy basically everyone to further some martyr complex.

As I recall it the supposed exploitation was buying up the only general store in the area and hiking up prices on basic goods so that buying a loaf of bread in a black neighborhood was considerably more than outside, and also accusations of using shared blacklists between businesses as a means of blackmailing community members with withholding access to basic necessities. Now everyone there's an incredibly unreliable narrator, and it's arguable the the increased costs of running a store in a black neighborhood maybe even justified the extra premium, but at the very least their stated reasoning wasn't just simply "we're exploited because they're not black".
Their proposed solution to the problem was black business owners, but that's because the black community is infested with the idea of "we dindu nuffin" and the idea of a black business owner ever exploiting people was simply impossible to them, so black store owners would fix everything.
Using the phrase “woke right” is on par with calling everyone who disagrees with you a leftist (Gitz), a stormfag (Imp), or a snowflake. They all mean the same thing coming from a “conservative”: insufficiently philosemitic.

What it means is, "I'm one of the good ones! See? I found the real racists/sexists/whatever right here! But I'm a good one, I promise! I'll rat out anyone you want me to, please spare me!"

That's not a thing though. The reasons for why a loaf of bread is more expensive in a black neighborhood are well-known. As Sowell said, the mark-ups are higher, but the profits aren't. As you say later on.

No, not just. But that's definitely part of it. And there's a good reason people they regard as 'outsiders' are often targeted. I don't think they would be torching black businesses for high mark-ups, for example. Maybe in a 'racial justice' protest.
It really is a lazy insult. It's like when leftists tried to use cuck as an insult and it almost never worked the same way. Because that's all you're trying to do. You're trying to appropriate a label that has been successfully applied to a group and utilise it for another unrelated group and praying it receives success as a result. It's not only incorrect usage, it's incredibly lazy because you can't get your own labels to work. So you use already successful ones in the wrong way.

It's not like that at all. They can't use the word 'cuck' because they are the cucks. If you want to use an example, maybe use people on the right who call leftists 'the real racists'. That indeed never works, because they own racism. Similarly, the Stormfags can engage in any sort of IDPol without being woke.

I don't remember RCC saying women should be raped, but rather he didn't believe in protecting any woman who wasn't having sex with him. Still an incredibly selfish position, but not quite the same.

Did you think woke = nutty? It means politically correct. It makes no sense when it’s used like this.
The woke blame everything on ze evil white men. The woke right blame everything on...
That said, I don't generally favor that term because it might harm the fight against the woke.
Wow, way to avoid the point.

Unrelated? I just showed you.

Might have been a different thread or comment, because I remember the comment you cite as well.
