Exactly - the justification for that (retarded) statement is that without power, racism was impossible. However, now with a brother in charge, that little game is tossed aside.
Blacks have been fully enfranchised for half a century, even while their culture continues to marginalize large sections of the race. Yet that hasn't stopped them from claiming victim status. One of the other key elements of Marxism is that you never give up ground. The paradox is that being a victim actually empowers a group in today's upside-down world. So the more blacks can claim to be victims, the more power they have, which betrays the Marxist lie that they are indeed victims!
But don't tell Rev'n Al and Jessuh that.
