The fact is that the situation no longer exists, and has been reversed. Blacks have many more everyday opportunities and special opportunities than Whites. Blacks have it extremely good in the United States if they would only assimilate, obey the law, and be productive citizens, instead of misbehaving as they do. Tony Blair correctly analyzed the problem a few years ago...

Blair blames spate of murders on black culture

guardian.co.uk

excerpt:

Tony Blair yesterday claimed the spate of knife and gun murders in London was not being caused by poverty, but a distinctive black culture. His remarks angered community leaders, who accused him of ignorance and failing to provide support for black-led efforts to tackle the problem.

[...]

Black community leaders reacted after Mr Blair said the recent violence should not be treated as part of a general crime wave, but as specific to black youth. He said people had to drop their political correctness and recognise that the violence would not be stopped "by pretending it is not young black kids doing it".

[...]

Mr Blair said he had been moved to make his controversial remarks after speaking to a black pastor of a London church at a Downing Street knife crime summit, who said: "When are we going to start saying this is a problem amongst a section of the black community and not, for reasons of political correctness, pretend that this is nothing to do with it?" Mr Blair said there needed to be an "intense police focus" on the minority of young black Britons behind the gun and knife attacks. The laws on knife and gun gangs needed to be toughened and the ringleaders "taken out of circulation".

[...]

Mr Blair is known to believe the tendency for many black boys to be raised in families without a father leads to a lack of appropriate role models. He said: "We need to stop thinking of this as a society that has gone wrong - it has not - but of specific groups that for specific reasons have gone outside of the proper lines of respect and good conduct towards others and need by specific measures to be brought back into the fold."
