Do the statistics apply to all brown and black people, or just certain groups?
If white people are intrinsically racist, then all non-whites would struggle in a white majority nation.
Many of the "racial" statistics I have seen can be interpreted as consistent with poverty rather than race. It's tough to be poor in America, whether white or black. The so-called American Dream is more fantasy than reality. The escalator is broken.
You solve these problems not by focussing on race but on supporting policies to help impoverished communities with training and jobs. Doesn't matter if people are black or white: help them if they lack opportunities.
That's my solution. I don't think you get anywhere with racial conversations. They are the same now as they ever were. Encourage people to believe they can, not that the world gives them a raw deal.
We are looking at the America now that the victim model of politics created. White nationalists have signed up for it.
