Correlation does not equal causation. In almost every single set of success/failure statistics gathered, the imbalance disappears when you control for
socioeconomic status, not race. That is, the playing field is not level for
poor people, not blacks. Solve the economic issues, and the perceived racism disappears.*
*As an example of how to do this, in Texas everyone who graduates in the top 10% of their class gets automatic admission to any state university. Doesn't matter if they graduated from the poorest ghetto high school and couldn't hold a candle to the bottom 25th percent of a rich suburban school. This way kids who do the best they can with the environment they're born into are given a chance to succeed, regardless of their race.
