They use this term and ideology to quantifu and substantiate such things as social order and census taking- things supposedly meant to accomadte fair distribution of resources among US citizens.

If the means by which they quantify us is not fair and furthermore false and demeaning then there's no suprise why the resulting resource distribution is as you indicate in such dire straits.

Think about it for a second- you claim there are a few "white" families suffering under poverty now weigh them against the acerage "white" family and then again weigh them cumulatively against the Black community.

At this point you've provided a pervasively confused equation and propose to redeem fair distribution- its just not gonna happen.

Until we beginning classifying people fairly and accurately the powers that be (those who are effectively concealed by such classifications) will continue to flourish while we fight amongst the scraps.

If the Black community gets the resources it needs- those funds will more than likely come from rural (supposedly) "white" communities while the rich "white" communities go unnoticed; they will be absolved by the race politics that you seem to think are benign. the statistics of their community resources will look promising but there will still be a great discrepancy between the upper and middle class- the Black community will still progress no farther than that middle class.

Realzing the fallacy of race classification means that we will all be counted fairly and not according to presumptions of superiority, majority, or even the mere hopes to be on the winning team. In the real world it means that we classify ourselves and distribute our resources according to who is in need and not some false notion of who we think we are.
