Like I said before, majority privilege + tribalism + a whole lotta history and nuance..

You literally just contradicted yourself, more so poorly worded that statement.
What's being ignored is that lower class white people aren't facing the same discrimination as lower class black people. They are not being unfairly judged based on race, they are not being targeted by police like black people, they are not being as harshly judged over crimes as black people, etc. So while classism is a problem in this country that needs to be addressed, it's not as strong as the racial bias.
Edit: and majority of the population isn't upper class so that defeats your 'majority privilege' argument as well.
