I fail to see how trying to eliminate race as a barrier to employment for a capitalist firm is neo-marxist. Saying black people are systemically oppressed doesn't lead to the democratization of ownership of capital. If anything, I see the sort of "identity politics" to be something that capitalists of all flavor want! You either see minorities as useful scapegoat to keep your oppressed workers angry, or as an untapped market to be exploited if they only had more income.

That's the race-grifting component. We already have labor laws preventing discrimination in hiring.
