How do you explain this if racism is just "wealth disparity"?

Surely you would not try to argue that these people who refused to allow wealthy successful black people join their club would treat whites and blacks equally on the job, would you?

Augusta National where The Masters is played had their first black member in 1990. The yearly member dues were probably around 10k or so, maybe more.

But that was nearly 30 years ago, and on the tail-end of the WW2 generation running things. Now that the baby-boomers replaced that generation and are slowly being replaced by my generation, we don't see these sort of racial barriers anywhere close to how they used to be. Not saying some dont exist, but even in the last 30 years many of these barriers have been torn down.
