I'm sorry, but the null hypothesis is more likely unless you can provide compelling evidence to the contrary. Repeating the same thing over and over again doesn't make it true. And the standard is this: show how specific "power structures" discriminate against people based on race in ways that are not attributable to other factors. For example, if the effect is largely explainable by poverty, then your hypothesis has not been proven (even though it may point to another issue).
