The premise underpinning this ideology is correct: that racial inequality is shockingly persistent.
Even though attitudes to race have improved, the quality of African-American lives has not kept pace.
A third of black boys born in 2001 will probably spend time locked up, compared with one in 17 white boys.
In 1968 black households earned around 60% as much as white households, and owned assets that were less than 10% of those of a typical white family. They still do.
This ideology also has some valid insights.
Racism is sustained by unjust institutions and practices.Sometimes, as in policing, this is overt.
More often, in countless small put-downs and biases, it is subtle but widespread and harmful.
