Why on Earth supporting poor people regardless of their race would be racist by anyone's criteria?
It would seem you are the racist here thinking a person needs support because he is black, not because he is poor.

If you wanted to support all individual poor people in America equally, you'll end up helping a disproportionate number of black people, because black people are disproportionately poor. So it's actually reasonable to say "black people need a disproportionate amount of help" if you're trying to help poverty in an unbiased way.
