Holiday attraction, unlikely tool adopted by anti-racists? (9,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

blackpool tower

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'holiday attraction' is the definition.
'blackpool tower' can be an answer for 'attraction' (I have seen 'seaside attraction' mean 'blackpool tower' so perhaps 'attraction' could also mean 'blackpool tower'). I am not certain of the 'holiday' bit.

'unlikely tool adopted by anti-racists?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'tool' is 'oolt' which is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'blackpower' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for blackpool tower that I've seen before include "building illuminated" , "seaside attraction" , "Seaside landmark in NW England" .)
