Here's Tim Wise describing how elites can exploit racism to divide and conquer the working class

Yes, the racism needs to be addressed. But rather than tell people they're evil and racist, maybe the more effective thing is to show them how they're actually in the same boat as the people of a different race, and that they need to join together to fight back against the people who are actually fucking them over.
Yelling and bullying may be cathartic, but it just contributes to the polarisation and doesn't offer many strategies for change.
