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 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
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.
