Sadly racism is still a part of out social structure

There can be discontinuity. Society is capable of sudden cultural shift.

True. But you would still point to culture as the chief reason for the existing social structure, albeit a culture that may have diminished.

Which is very relevant right now. Our social structure clearly represents a more racist and white privileged culture that has since diminished. But the social structure is more hearty and harder to change. It obviously lags by generations. "Old money" and "old connections" don't voluntarily step aside. Having power assists in keeping power. A tautology, admittedly, but true all the same.

But the comfortable living structure must continue as things change!

Yeah, race baiters like Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson will certainly want to keep hate alive because it's $$$$$$ for them.
