Proof?

This sounds so incredibly made up it's hard to contemplate.

Of course there are.  That's not really the biggest systemic problem, though.  The economic system is probably the biggest issue.

Can you name the laws then? I keep hearing how there's "laws" that keep blacks down, but usually they stop there, and never get into specifics always " you know theres laws"

The economic system effects all races equally though... poor people of all colors are overrepresented in the criminal justice system and underrepresented in all corporate boardrooms

Also their is more class mobility in the united states than anywhere else in the world.

Look up minority grants and scholarships. Whites are not a minority so we don't get those.

This is a completely delusional statement. The US has terrible economic mobility.

Many of the drug laws, for instance.  Again, it's not the biggest problem.

If the economic system affects all races equally, how do you explain the fact that African Americans are overrepresented in prisons, underrepresented in corporate boardrooms, and statistically of a lower socioeconomic class?

Immigrants still have positive rates of social mobility in the US. Children born to native born parents are more likely be less successful than their parents.

I assume your referring to harvard making it harder for asians to attend because statistically they have an advantage over whites. Race based affirmative action doesnt apply to african Americans in 2020. If it does please cite some proof.

Biggest effect on your above points are poverty and black culture

Black culture? Like the fathers being picked off by the racist judicial system so the children grow up in poverty and repeat the cycle?

And why do you think poverty is so rampant among African Americans?  Why do you think black culture is as it is?
