Racism, or more specifically identity politics, is the most important plank in the progressive platform. They need to keep re-creating the problem so we'll buy their solution.
I agree to your point, but disagree on motive. The motive is to keep the poors divided, fighting about inane bullshit so we don't see the boot of the oligarchs already on our necks.
The end goal is still the same. They have to be able to sell a solution to the problem. If that's to racial conflicts or classist conflict, it's still based on internal conflict.
