There is the 0.000001% that controls all banking/government in the world. They are the enemy.
The rest of us are peasants selling our future labor in a perpetual slavery scheme.
Until the rest of us disband the state, refuse to use government to exploit/leverage against our neighbors, adopt the non-aggression principle, dump the "social contract" myth for voluntary associations/true contracts of consent, and simply live and let live...we are doomed.
"Race", class, religion, gender, etc are all divisive memes used by our overlords to keep us at the throats of each other instead of focusing on the enslavers.
While Blow makes some valid points, he also completely ignores his own words.
Another part is systemic, structurally racist policies, and yet another is class conflict between the police and the poorest, most dangerous communities they patrol, and between those who are better off and those who are not.
Of course there will be conflict, simply because the police are asked to patrol virtual war zones.
Even Jesse Jackson said that when a black man walks behind him he gets nervous. Gotta give him credit for that rare tidbit of honesty, but if a white man said that... he'd be instantly demonized.
EVERYONE has racist thoughts, but sometimes it's less about racism and more about awareness.

Divide and conquer. A United nation is impossible to conquer, so they're doing it from within. It's straight out of the communist manifesto and rules for radicals.
He doesn't say what those policies are but expects us to just accept that as a statement of fact?
In the past, off the top of my head. there was redlining, government housing policy (FHA) which facilitated filtered middle class white movement into suburbs, exclusionary zoning practices, ghettoization of minority groups (e.g. wrong side of the tracks).
Home ownership is a powerful stabilizer for American families, minorities faced obstacles to ownership which have left them perpetually vulnerable to rent inflation, gentrification, and displacement, and which have thus left them bereft of the wealth and stability which come from home equity.

The so-called ruling class has a vested interest in division. There is also a tension between the non-working (entitlement class) poor, the working poor, and the working class just above the first two. Division is acceptable as long as it keeps the rent checks flowing.
There is a narrow demographic which drives crime and similar dysfunction, but people who insist on a racial narrative won't acknowledge it.
