Racism is an economic tactic of division

On Sat., August 12, 2017, there was a white nationalist march in Charlottesville, VA which resulted in the death of counter-protestor Heather Heyer.

On NPR's Codeswitch podcast:

NPR asked: "what you think white nationalists, like the ones in Charlottesville, expect to accomplish in 2017?" 

Answer: "to create a society where the resources of the society funnel into a whites-only space, but that it is propped up and supported by a vast labor pool without rights."

This again confirms racism is a form of economic division. It's similar to anti-feminism, anti-LGBT, anti-abortion, colonialism, etc. divide and conquer tactic of the economically powerful. Unfortunately, they're a particularly well armed movement with no qualms of using violence.
