We have this issue because white people are the predominant skin colour in North America, as well as the socially dominant one. It can therefore be inferred that we do not require "power", "pride" or any sorts of funds specifically for those of our skin colour, as it is already king of the hill, so to speak (a fitting term considering the show). If we did not have societies created on racist presumptions, with racism embedded within them, then there would be no need for racial distinctions along any lines. As it is however, people have differing opporunities based either directly or indirectly on their skin colour, and therefore "visible minorities" may require assistance in many ways, financial, moral, etc.
