I’m convinced the reason is “We can’t do that, black people would get it. White people have the good jobs and will get that all on their own.”

You think you’re the only racist developed country in the world?
Nah, mate. It’s capitalism. Capitalism, as a system, always needs a powerful country to be its base, where capital can politically defend itself and control the political system to keep the corporations strong, and wield that country’s military against any foreign country that refuses to accept the domination of the corporations.
It was Amsterdam at first, then Britain for a long while, then in the 19th century it started moving to the USA, where it prospered mightily.
Capitalism cannot let the people be the priority. It must hold profit above all else, it’s the nature of the machine. This is not a decision made by a person, this is how the system of capitalism works.
