Oh, that's always good, an Old Testament passage about Israel, taken out of context and applied to something for which it has no meaning, and a New Testament verse also taken out of context. Neither verse has anything at all to do with race, or with any contention of yours. Why not throw in some of that "curse of Ham" stuff that was used to justify slavery?
It's not a matter of possibilities, it is a matter of will. If you buy into this white supremacist, "White Christian America" crap, then of course you buy into the impossibility of racial reconciliation and harmony. You can spout scripture out of context all you want to, it is contrary to the very nature of God, and the humanity he created, to separate into antagonistic hate groups based on race. And the "both sides are guilty" argument is a lie. Even if there is a "Black Supremacist" movement, such groups spring up as reactionary responses to racism and bigotry directed at them. From personal experience, I find African Americans and Latinos, and most people of other races far more accepting, and willing to relate as equals than some Caucasians.
