...concept or [of] “racism” was more a propaganda effort to subdue the countries of white people than an effort to create true equality.

While you are probably right about that in terms of the goal, I can tell you that there truly was racism in this country in the 1950s. There was discrimination and lack of opportunity for blacks then, and it was morally wrong. Many otherwise decent white people accepted this as the status quo.
Of course, today, many in the black community are worse off because of the way the left has encouraged the lowlife segment to expand dramatically.
After the passage of anti-discrimination laws, blacks were coming along, entering job markets and schools formerly closed to them, and being accepted by whites. Great social progress was under way.
The left saw this progress as a problem, as they were then losing an important potential victim group. Thus, the left set about stirring up racial division, and, as you can see, the progressives have been wildly successful.
Unfortunately, I see their success turning up here on this site. Increasingly, there are posts regarding some disgusting ghetto behavior, and I wince when I see comments that lump all black people together with the lowlife contingent.
