Obviously racism exists. But absent from your thesis it that antidemocratic government is the root of many of our social problems. Why have so many other nations been able to create common sense single payer systems and the US can't? Why is wealth inequality so great, and social mobility decreasing in the US compared to other nations?
If certain political viewpoints are excluding from the halls of power because of a braindead two party system, and small minorities can not just block even the desirable social and corporate reforms... but the minority can even govern... as evidenced by the Bush and Trump Juntas.... and an antidemocratic Senate.... why isn't THAT the foundation of US capitalism?
