Give the examples...he obviously needs more info
I'd start with the current president who has openly stated that "poor kids are just as smart as white kids" and that blacks don't know how to get on the internet. He also stated the Hispanic community, unlike the black community, (yeah he really said this) has a lot of diverse opinions on issues. So to recap he thinks they're poor, dumb, and incapable. I'm going to post several links to other things and I assume these are all well known quotes but if anyone disagrees or wants to see proof of those, just let me know.
I start there with the president to begin establishing the extent to which, not just academics, but the mainstream left views blacks as incapable. I'll then end with bringing it back to the underlying racial views of Marx, Engle, and others.
This article mentions a current left wing thought leader Ibram X Kendi and his views on racism and capitalism. "Racial and economic justice movements have exposed exploitative and extractive practices within capitalism, making it less secure to accumulate wealth through those means."---you can only view blacks as exploited if you believe they are less capable of competing.
Capitalism and Racism: Conjoined Twins
The NYU department chair for social and cultural analysis agrees. I add her quote specifically because it states capitalism still depends on a racial hierarchy. So she still sees black people as only capable today of being exploited. It's a communist/marxist view that sees employment as exploitation and business owners as oppressors. It clearly sounds like she doesn't believe blacks to be capable of anything other than being exploited workers, even calling them "working people" -“The economic system still depends on a profound racial hierarchy,” explains historian
Jennifer L. Morgan, chair of NYU’s Department of Social and Cultural Analysis. “It still depends on the degradation of Black labor and still depends on and develops tools to segregate and disenfranchise Black people and other working people.”-

It goes beyond just academia. It's infected corporate America too. Here American Express is telling their workers capitalism is racist

BLM this week called for a boycott and the end of "white supremacy capitalism".

Over 130 colleges/universities in California alone no longer require ACT/SAT scores for admission. Why? Because black kids score lower. So they've decided the only way to make things fair is to get rid of the ACT/SAT. Another example of the left believing blacks cannot compete. This example isn't strictly economic, but their views of black inferiority are not limited to economics. They would also claim that our educational system is an institute that upholds capitalism (this is one of the aspects of culture along with the family that BLM wants to destroy that Grimnsci wrote about that upholds capitalism).
More California colleges remove SAT, ACT requirements during application process
So these views that black people cannot be successful under capitalism are common place on the left. I can provide additional examples if you wish or clarify why I included any of the ones above. I'm going to do a second post on this later (may be tomorrow before I get to it) connecting this thought with Marx, Engle, and the Frankfort School.
