I actually think lower class blacks and other minorities will also be shut out. They aren't going to agree up is down for very long either, especially as they've seen real world problems rather than thinking dying their hair blue makes them an oppressed minority. Lots of black people calling out BLM and critical theory at the moment. They just get told they're not really black anymore when they step out of line.

All these groups that advocate for wealth redistribution in their direction are really stupid and short-sighted. Blacks in the US have a median income that is way higher than the world average. The logical conclusion of the leftist ideology they support is open-borders globalism and worldwide wealth redistribution. That means taking money away from privileged US blacks and giving it to Africans. They really don't know how good they have it.

Well, according to critical theory, they aren't black the moment they step out of line. "Black" is a political identity group to critical race theorists, so for example "Black Lives Matter" doesn't refer to right-wingers with black skin. The moment you adopt right-wing ideas as a black man, you become "complicit in whiteness" and a "white supremacist".
