1) It's an attempt to get employers and people in general to stop believing the stereotype that white people are smarter because they're white. There is no way to logically equate the color of someone's skin to intelligence.

It's a free country and you're within your rights to believe this but it's statistically false. There exists an unexplained gap between white and black intelligence. Pick a catagory, I know you can find data to prove my point. Take a random white man and a random black man. I'd wager that the white man stands a 50 to 100 fold greater likelyhood of having won a Nobel science prize. I'd further wager that the white man is 25-50% more likely to have graduated high school. Racism is a tiny portion of today's difference and only a modest factor 50 years ago.

I could go on but I never sway the Kool Aide drinkers.

While you are correct that there is a quantitative gap between whites and blacks in achievement, the last few sentences of your post are factually incorrect and grossly offensive, respectively.
