This video says nothing of the poor planning and structure of the "war on poverty" and the horrible structure of the welfare system as a whole which pigeonholes the poor into lives that tend to "keep them there". The "system" is engineered to "keep them" down is biased and un-objective. There are so many instances of all races that started poor and succeeded. I still like the John Mackey pieces on Capitalism. Is racism present - yes? I would propose racism exists in all races like black on black racism which surfaces its ugly head by those who say, "You acting white!" when a black minority tries to break out of the mold. The piece has its perspective, but far from the "whole truth and nothing but the truth" for sure. The US has had its drawbacks, faults, and injustices in the past (and now), but, overall, has promoted more people of all races than any other country around (shall I say Saudi Arabia - neither white or black). In short, this piece is biased!
