North America was literally built upon the genocide of indigenous peoples and the theft of their lands. It was built upon the backs of slaves. Generations of racist and harmful government policies screwed these people and institutional racism still screws these people.
"Identity politics" as you call it is probably here to stay until we see true equality. The classical liberal model has been an utter failure. Every other venture has been an utter failure. What do you propose as a real solution to inequality that was created by white supremacy? Individual choices and pulling yourself up by the ole bootstraps ain't gonna cut it.
