I dunno, some of the things you mention on your list are good, while others just give me the creeps or are downright misguided in my humble opinion.
For example, in #6 you mention talking to black people about racism. When I talk to black people, I talk about music, or the weather, or any of the thousand other subjects that I talk about with white, yellow and green people. You create rapport by treating other people with the respect they deserve, regardless of the color of their skin, the shape of their hair or state of their clothes.
