Afrikan in America with such a broadly brushed stroke?

Certainly racism is a tool of oppression in capitalism. Certainly less than 5% of the population controls most of this country's wealth.
Undoubtedly many of the wealthy individuals in this country are white.

But do you think that working class whites also support this system? I feel that due to the feudal mindset of the European and it's inherit imprint on the popular culture, the status quo is buttressed by people who live vicariously thru others that are more successful.

Your prejudiced worker might not be better off than the his black coworker, but he might FEEL better cus his boss is white.

so sure he'll buttress a thought pattern, or economic system, or a tax plan or a bill in congress that help keeps ole boi down...

or maybe I'm just pessimistic. I can't spell it either.
