racial capitalism

A social and economic system of removing social and economic value using markers associated with race (e.g. such as dark skin or people of African descent) while attributing social and economic value using markers associated with race (e.g., white/light skin or people of European descent).

Example - Wealth is assigned to predominately white U.S. neighborhoods at higher rates than predominately Black, Hispanic, or Latinx neighborhoods. As more middle and upper class White families move into neighborhoods (gentrification) the property values increase but the reverse happens when Black families move into formally homogenized White neighborhoods.

See Cedric Robinson and Charles Mill's work around racial capitalism.
Racial capitalism has assigned value to Whiteness in that those of European descent are often given lower interest rates on loans than those who are not.

Racial peacekeepers

The preachers, pastors and community leaders who always rush out after a racially charged incident against african-americans to calm people and direct them to forgive or embrace their attackers. These individuals decide to represent all african-americans in the community, but often act hypocritically for their own benefit to establish a national profile and win influence among the african-american community for future church donations. They are noticeably absent when the violence does not have racial overtones.
Oh boy, here come the racial peacekeepers with their ridiculous speeches about Christian forgiveness after the skinhead killed 12 people. I just can't with these guys. Bible ballers, pastor pimps, pastors, preachers, community organizers, religion, church, African-American
