Can someone reword these sentences?

Although it acts as a symbol of hope, their dream becomes futile in a society dominated by capitalism and racism.

Capitalism and racism’s corruption of the American dream creates a world inhospitable to dreams

The second one is my thesis, but i dont want to repeat "capitalism" and "racism" in a row.

Is there some way I can express my views on how In reality, dreams cannot exist in a land where it is corrupted by various things like capitalism and racism?
