Yes and no. If a situation is more difficult/exclusionary for disabled people than it has to be, then it is ableist, and if something is ableist then it immediately becomes the "cause" of disabled people. POC (and white people!) don't get to be ableist (or sexist or whatever) while fighting racism, the same way that feminists and disability advocates aren't allowed to be racist (and this is something large sections of the feminist movement still have trouble with, interpreting any criticism as "an attack from the Patriarchy").
Of course I also don't get to be racist while criticising POC for being ableist. Navigating these competing priorities is difficult, but the best way to get a less one-sided POV is to talk/listen to people in both boats, in this case disabled POC.
This still ends up back to what you said: asking POC and other anti-racists. Which I did, I posted to debunkingwhite and got some very helpful and understanding responses. Specifically, some people volunteered to be available if I have to say "I can't deal with comments to this, but someone needs to".
