Think of it like this. If you wanted to support all individual poor people in America equally, you'll end up helping a disproportionate number of black people, because black people are disproportionately poor. So it's actually reasonable to say "black people need a disproportionate amount of help" if you're trying to help poverty in an unbiased way.

That is imprecise to the point of being unreasonable.
In your example help isn't given to all black people, only to the poor ones.
If you consider help given to poor black people vs. help given to poor white people, it becomes proportional.

You need to reread my argument if that's what you came out of it with.

It's clear you're not here to actually argue in good faith, which is a shame.
It would seem you are the racist here thinking a person needs support because he is black, not because he is poor.
