The concept was proposed to create a conversation about how different groups interact and treat each other. An educational theoretical exercise. Needless to say, its been made political.
Ideally, this type of study is a social experiment, which means its open ended and has a shit ton of variables, so results are subject to interpretation. One of the major causes of inequalities, an easily measured variable is
..MONEY. Yeah, No shit.
Its a tough conversation to have. It cant be a blame game. And it needs to be about the future, not the past. What can be done now, to move our society forward so everyone has an chance to improve their themselves and their children's opportunity.
It is the concept of this nation:
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

I think you hit the nail on the head. It has more to do with those who have money and those who do not. Like you said, the founding principles are liberty and opportunity. For decades, opportunity was denied to blacks. Dwelling on this without looking to the future instead of the past will get us (and blacks) nowhere.
What is the solution? I really do not know. Poor people usually are in the doom loop where they have no idea how to get out of poverty because the upbringing was not there like it was for those who are not in poverty. Until we figure out how to stop the loop (which I think is impossible) we cannot fix poverty and inequality.
