Their only role is to work as muscles of ochlocracy for people who deeply hate them (as demonstrated by the whole George Floyd thing). The 'Cancel culture' is just a tool of some white men to control other white men while PoC having as much influence as mythical Marxists' 'proletarians', as fauna.
I like the spirit and mechanics of what you have written here, but I think you are misrepresenting the power dynamic by putting "all white people" on one side, and "all PoC on the other." As we all should know by now,
skin tone as signifier is arbitrary, and its use to create class division is constructed (by money).
The vast majority of "white people" are also feared and hated by their own elites, and live the same kind of mindless alienation as many PoC do. That white plebs are targetted (by oligarchs) with
different propaganda, is just a clever way of creating division among people who, in fact, have virutally the same interests. In fact, we all have the same interests, in the end. (Maslow Needs Ladder)
That a tiny minority of mostly white people (but which includes many PoC vassals like Obama and Harris and most of our PcD pop stars) are able to strip away everyone else's agency and kinship while destroying the ecosytems and world peace... means that this class must be eliminated, and that power relations must be equalized. Pronto. Every second counts.
Isolating different skin colors (to provide easy variables in a formula) in order to create easy-to-target bad guys in a proposed formula that describes power relations... is exactly what the rich and powerful would like
the schmoes like us to do. It's "the bad methodology" that our masters hope we will continue to pursue.
But it's a dead end and leads to more marginalization and racism. I wonder if, under capitalism and its flawed logic, any real progress against classism (and its by-product - racism) can be made. Maybe not. Capitalism supported Apartheid later than any other system on the planet. And the rich depend on "class and race difference" to justify their own gluttony.
