I am not sure when it happened but the establishment adapted when it came to the way they weaponize race as a wedge issue. For most of America’s history, it was “black” people—specifically “black” men—who were demonized and used as bogeymen by those in power to emotionally manipulate the “white” masses. Politicians, pundits and opinion leaders alike reverted to their latent racism by projecting imagery of the “black” menace in order to perpetually rupture society and keep “white” people subsumed in fear and hatred for the “other side”

Richard Nixon famously turned to the “Southern Strategy” to peel away disaffected “white” Democrats once the party of Jefferson, Jackson and FDR was seen as being too cozy with the “black” cause after they fought against segregation. By the time LBJ initiated the “war on poverty” and started implementing programs under the guise of “the Great Society”, Republicans made a strategic decision to undermine Democrats by presenting them anti-American and anti-white radicals. Never mind that Lyndon Baines Johnson was a rabid racist who was intent on destroying the “black” family, the GOP pounced once they realized that they could gain power by playing on “white” people’s trepidations...continued..

Conclusion : Poor people who give priority to race than class are the real problem than rich/financially stable right-wing people and politicians of both sides of the aisle who are justified ( not in moral terms ! ) to act for their interest.

What you described about politicians using race to advance their agenda and win elections after elections is the same in the Western world.

In England for example poor working class whites abandoned the Labour Party because they were persuaded by politicians that the party was too friendly towards blacks and immigrants. I don't know why but poor and working class whites begrudge black people any normal services that you would expect a government should deliver to its citizens.

Outside the Western world you see similar things in the Arab world. In Egypt for instance the government is afraid to treat Christians as equals with muslims for fear of angering ordinary muslims. As the result Christians face injustice in their daily life.

The government is anti-Christian, the army, universities ( appointments ), police ( ignore Christian complaints, harassement, murder ) and judges put Christians at a disadvantage. Kidnapping of young Christian girls and forced coversions in Egypt is normal. Al-Sisi is afraid to do anything because he sees himself in the first place as a muslim leader of a muslim country.
