The second question for me is: How this relates to the Fedi in particular? IME the Fedi is uniquely positioned to address this imbalance through its federation system. E.g., while we agree on what racism is and how it constitutes (I just try to understand your view point better and hence talk to you than my bubble), I think it's unlikely to get this view as a consensus on most platforms soon. Neither, do we get trans acceptance that's really more than empty words of "diversity". As such, the Fedi is doing the opposite pf creating a safe space by marginalized people for themselves through their own servers. Mind you, not the whole Fedi becomes safe (I mean, even truth.social exists), but that's not the goal. And once marginalized people can be active in the Fedi through their own servers, they can also shift the window of the discourse and have an impact of the Fedi on the whole. This is what happened with Fedi, while it was queer from the get-go, this queerness was well-hidden and the policies weren't friendly to open queer people. And nowadays thing's have changed a lot. Why isn't that a realistic path for Black people?
