The racism was used to sell to white "middle classes" the dream of becoming rich and lording it over the "not white" who were separated, segregated. In this context, white is a class, not a race, and it is most definitely not something that can just be dispelled by informing people that it's all made up by capitalists to divide the people. You can think of this class as "honorary petite bourgeois" for those workers.
Even if it's true what you say, you don't get to demand that people who've experienced racist attacks and discrimination suddenly forget about it and reclassify that experience as just a misunderstanding.

It's a type of social contract. In the traditionalist culture, being non-secular, they ascribed it to "God", but, as you know, there is no God, so it was actually up to real people belonging to religious institutions, the clergy. Since the Enlightenment, people have tried to replace God with Nature; this has often been a bad joke with terrible consequences, but eventually secular paradigms took over and tried to reason the contracts into shape, to make them more consistent. There's a lot of philosophy about this and I can't summarize it as easily. But what you're seeing today with Trump and the traditionalists, this anti-secularism, is a desire to return to the pre-Enlightenment state with its contracts and monarchy and aristocracy determined by "God":

Joe Rogan advice?
This is part of some rural grift facilities which probably started with "trouble teens". In recent years I've seen reports of these "farms" for "distressed" women. It's usually a place with Ranch in the name. Example: https://friendlyatheist.patheos.com/2021/11/18/the-christian-maternity-ranch-in-texas-is-a-disaster-in-the-making/
Permaculture farms, for example, are already well known for relying on abusive work conditions. See Joel Salatin:

"collateral damage"
The Petite bourgeoisie. The service economy thrives on growth, these guys get wiped out every time. It just adds to the whole ridiculous setup of capitalism's free market.
It's the same class that the US saw on screen on January 6th.
Trump falls well in line with the Christian tradition of leaders, so much so that he's king material ("anointed" or a messiah).

I am thrilled to announce Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health. The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country. Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!
