I just shared this with another commenter. It seems to apply here:

"No one is denying that black people were disproportionately poor. We're only trying to show that racism has always been intimately connected to capitalism, but race reductionists don't want to talk about that. When black and white people of the same class are treated the same, as they were under redlining, the problem is not racism. That does not mean racism is not a problem."
