I have a much lower chance of being sent to prison for the same offense that you might be arrested for (statistics show this).
Poor people get harsher sentences than people with money. Black people on average have less money. Also black people tend to live in more dense Urban areas. Dense Urban areas (especially high crime areas) are more heavily policed than Rural areas. When people live closer to each other, the police can monitor more people more often. In heavily policed areas people committing crimes are caught more often. When you consider the murder rate of black people is 4 times the National average
Murder Rate for Black Americans Is Four Times the National Average | HuffPost
and 97% of Black homicide is from other black people, and Homicide is the 4th leading cause of death for black people, for whites it doesn’t even make the top 10.

if you are going to look strictly at the averages, there is obviously something going on with crime and the black community, and it has nothing to do with racism.
I will have a lifetime lower chance of being imprisoned overall (1/10 white guys whereas 1/3 black guys will be in prison at some point).
The cops aren’t pulling these people out of church ya know. A lot of black people live in high crime neighborhoods. People in those neighborhoods will be arrested at a much higher rate than those living in low crime neighborhoods.
I will NEVER be assumed to be in my position at work because of some "diversity hire" concept. No one will question why I am in the lab.
If I am in a lab due to some “diversity hire” concept, and this is an option for me, but not for you, this is more of a privilege for me not you.
I will, on average, have a much better economic existence across my entire life. I'll make more money than you on average and I'll make MUCH more money than your wife, your mother or your sisters.
Yes. On average, white people make more money than blacks; they also have a much lower drop out rate, more likely to go to college, which usually leads to better jobs….. unless I am Nigerian. Nigerian Immigrants are the highest educated class in the USA with 17% having masters degrees (compared to 8% of whites)
Data show Nigerians the most educated in the U.S.
This is higher than Asians. They also have a higher average household income than whites. Now why aren’t black americans able to accomplish this? I suspect it has a lot to do with culture, not racism.
I will spend almost no time, ever, being randomly stopped by police for some "suspicion" or I "look like a suspect in crime x..."
Neither do I.
I will NEVER (N-E-V-E-R) be stopped for driving through a nice neighborhood just because I'm there.
Neither will I. As a matter of fact, I know lots of black people; many who live in nice neighborhoods and I’ve never heard of a case where as any of them were stopped by the cops for driving in a nice neighborhood.
But please, definitely tell me all about anecdotal data. That will be really impressive to hear about.
As far as the average household income, only 38% of black children live with both parents (compared to 73% of white children)

When you have such a high percentage of households headed by one parent (usually the mother) that household income will be much lower. I remember a link (that I unfortunately cannot find) that compared the income of black nuclear families vs white nuclear families (nuclear families being 2 parent households) and the difference was something like 8%. Kinda hard to blame the black single motherhood thing on white racism.
