There are wealthy Black, Hispanic, Asian, etc. families that have been multimillionaires for a few generations (maybe even billionaires), but my question is: how did these Black and other families of color maintain their wealth through racist times?

    Racism is largely a tool BY the wealthy elite to divide the poorer class. If you are in the elite, you don’t participate in it.

      I mean, you are technically still benefiting from the racist systems set up by the elite even if you are working class, so you’re still technically (unwittingly) participating in it. But you can (and should) still do your best to not actively advance the system.
