> I would agree that not everything that is claimed to be racism based is in fact racism based

It's hotly debated topic. Sometimes, statistics clearly show that some system has a racial bias. But often it's misleading because the variable the system is _actually_ selecting might be poverty, not race. The racial bias only appears due to the fact that <race> is disproportionately impoverished.

Sometimes I think the race is brought in by the elites to divide us. Bill Gates and Beyoncé have more in common than Bill Gates and an Appalachian coal miner. Also, a white Appalachian coal miner has more in common with a black inner city grocery store employee than they do with Bill Gates.

The biggest factor keeping someone from succeeding in the US, is intergenerational poverty, not skin color. Black and brown immigrants have high success rates in America, because they do not have intergenerational poverty. Black and white people from impoverished families struggle in America. The problems of black citizens in the inner cities are very similar to the problems of white people in rural trailer parks.

If we focused on dealing with the problem of intergenerational poverty, we might make a lot of progress in improving the lives of both black and white Americans. However, the rich elites of all races might see their money And influence diminish. So they use race to divide us.
