Should Property Rights Be Abolished in the Name of Eliminating Racism?

Remember the White, Rich, Male, Landowner who was the only person who's vote was worth anything? Well, those days have long been forgotten.
Still, many have pondered that landownership has been used to keep down minorities from reaching their success.
Perhaps, in the past that was at least partly so.
One academic intellectual and liberal elite states it like this; "I do think that if private property was abolished, a ridiculous proposition for many, but for sake of discussion only, this would allow the racism problem in America to become less of a problem, perhaps non-existent.
Not from a current perspective- but from a perspective where private property did not exist - Can one even imagine a place where no private property exist?" Sure we can, and yes, I can imagine that, and have in previously when studying tribal cultures, but realize in history that has not been the case, those of different race, religion, or shades of color would still engage in racism, even killing those who were different.
You see, racism is the natural thought that those who are like you are better than those who are not like you.
This is why so many nonwhites are able to hate whites, because white people are a different color.
Racism exists in all races, to suggest, as many do, that only white people are racists is laughable.
In fact, here is an interesting point of contention.
I have noted in history that those who actually believe they do not own the land, but are in charge (politically) of their people, are very willing to sell it to those who visit and tell them it is worth something.
They actually laugh at all the gifts, or money given for the land, as they believe it cannot be sold or owned in their own culture.
Still, they sell it without regard to the first big offerer.
Humans will always find a way to control other humans.
And they tend to stick with their own groups in self-segregation for strength in numbers.
It's how they do things and individual property rights, have nothing to do with it.
