It did in
Apartheid Africa. With an openly racist government, with White Supremacy reining high, that denied blacks basic human rights. And it was illegal to hire blacks in certain occupations. Yet blacks workers outnumbers white workers.
It did in 1948 where Black Unemployment Rate was the same as White unemployment rate, during a time before the Civil Rights movement and during Jim Crow. Yet Black unemployment is higher then whites today in a less racist time, unless people would want to argue that Blacks had more opportunity during the racist Pre Civil Rights. These were times when the minimum wage law meant nothing because of high inflation, so the minimum wage laws at the time had no effect and it was like there was no minimum wage in effect at all. So it wasn't minimum wage helping them out. A Employer that needs workers will put his racism aside to hire Blacks because money is more important then his Racist beliefs. If a Black is a good worker generating lots of money for them, then they wont miss this opportunity.
The segregation of Blacks on buses was a
government problem not a free market problem. Private owners of street cars, buses, and railroad companies in the South lobbied hard against Jim Crow laws when they were being written, and challenged them in court after they were passed, and refused to listen to the laws. They resisted so hard that company employees were starting to be arrested for not enforcing these laws and a president of a streetcar company was threatened with jail if he didn't comply. Some of these white company business owner didn't do this because they cared about civil rights, they did it because they were loosing money from their black customers. The segregation and not serving blacks was because government intervened in the free market, telling people who they can and can't serve.

This is what I was saying, Noam Chomsky was saying that this will boost Trump. The shot themselves in the foot for pushing this without any evidence at all for two years pretending there was all this evidence of collusion. He will use this to fight back.
Trump knows how to fight back. When Hillary attacked for his grab em' by the P**sy comment this empowered him rather then hurt him. He held a surprise event with Bill Clintons accusers and saying look at the people Hillary is tried to silence. Look at what the Clintons did to these women, for me it was just a comment, but I never did anything like this, they did action. And the Women said they support Trump and that actions speak louder then words. That shut Hillary Clinton up right away and any hurtful impact to his election the Grab Em' by the P**sy comment would have had.
He knows how to fight back. And he waits till they strike first, he hardly strikes first, so it gives him more leeway to act like he does because he's responding is self defense.
