The Klan wants black people poor and staying in inner cities and in failing schools. After 50 years of this and multiple generations trapped in this self perpetuating cycles....the Klan objects to change. They'll shout "racist" at those who suggest new ideas.
And then the Klan goes to Whole Foods in their mostly upper income white world.
Who is the Klan?
Rainbow colored hoods and a 401K statement....that's who.

LOL, and someone on this board said something about how I focused too much on the regime's racism.
The regime is pandering to an audience that has been nurtured by Fox Noise, for decades: that straight, white, Christians are "victims": victimized by "affirmative action", victimized by "DEI", victimized by "CRT", victimized by a "war on Christmas", victimized by a left wing plot to fill the country with non-white people.
Explain how the regime can maintain the loyalty of it's base, while policy is implemented that screws that base, for the benefit of God on Earth Trump, and his cronies.

I go back to these:
“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.”
― Lyndon B. Johnson
You start out in 1954 by saying, "Nigger, nigger, nigger". By 1968, you can't say "nigger"—that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me—because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut this", is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "Nigger, nigger". Lee Atwater 1981
Now notice that Lee is watching what he thinks is a trend down in racism by coding (dog whistles), but it's always there just below the surface. Why? Well, doesn't LBJ tell us there's money in it? And isn't LBJ telling us what Trump has been doing? This isn't going away, we will always be a racist country of some sort.
