The lack of options/failure of the political system does not disprove the narrative that there were/are racial motives behind some of the systems we live with today. "It can't be whites vs blacks, politicians that black people voted for did it too". When you actually write out your argument it doesn't make any sense. What if they were given two options, both of whom would have continued racist policies? There's also a phenomenon whereby politicians identified with a specific "outsider" group have a lot more pressure (and ability) to defy the interests or stereotypes of that group. H Clinton under a lot more pressure to be hawkish to defy weak women narrative. Obama under a lot more scrutiny about anything that could be seen as a handout to African Americans. Politicians from the left often ripping up regulations, because they sedate the left who would have prevented right candidates from doing it. Basically, it's way more complicated and your argument doesn't hold water.
