I am an expert so here.
point 1 - Police are "racist" when theyre in ghettos that you would be to afraid to even drive through, so stop pretending that police are racist in the vast majority of places outside of them.
2 - society does see all race equally but when a black person dresses like a gangbanger you're supposed to also see them the same way as the black guy on the other side of the isle who is wearing cargo shorts and a super hero t shirt.
3 - if you are in contact with people who think black people feel less pain than white people, than I suggest you move cus you live in an unfixable part of missisippi and have no hope at a decent life there.
4 - you cannot predict a persons economic state unless you look at how they dress and by the numbers black people who are not poor dress poor and therefore people make assumptions about them. (so their heart rate rises)

1 and 2) You have a legitimate point here. It's hard to make the future better when the present sucks, and the present very likely will suck if the past sucked. You could just give up all hope of improving things, or you could say "that's a challenge, but not an insurmountable one".
3) That study was about ALL people, not racists Mississippians. Racism is subtly pervasive in our society
4) But you
can look at equally well-dressed black and white men and correctly guess (better than 50/50 at least) that the white man is better off financially, because whites as a group
are better off financially
