I absolutely don't and frankly that kind of case by case basis is not what we're talking about. I'm talking about baked in systemic oppression like segregation (which is still enacted in schools to this day). Or the school to prison pipeline or chronic abuse and exploitation by municipalities like LA, Baltimore, and Ferguson (and a hundred more cities that just haven't made the news yet.) I'm talking about redlining that kept black people from moving into good neighborhoods. I'm talking about a police culture that treats black men as inherently dangerous and have shown over and over and over that they're willing to put them down like animals if they make a wrong move.
I'm not arguing, no one's arguing that everything that happens to minorities is because they're a minority, I'm arguing that we still live in a system made to favor whites, and the people who say we should ignore race are either intentionally or unintentionally defending that system's racist construction.
It is precisely what we're talking about. The reason racists started burning down black churches after reconstruction was because that was where black people were learning to read. It was a distinct effort to keep them subordinate. Just like segregation. Which is at the heart of the economic injustice we need to make right.
Al Sharpton Jr over here is misrepresenting history, forgetting the fact that non-black citizens today are guiltless in the wrongdoings of the past, and black citizens today are already the beneficiaries of a century of social programs to assist the poor and a half century of what is frankly unconstitutional legislation that we turn a blind eye towards because it was specifically designed to help them out cause we felt guilty.
Finally, we are today a more multicultural and diverse nation than pretty much any other one out there, so, while racism does exist in small circles (including some areas of law enforcement) it is NO WHERE NEAR pervasive enough to justify continued policies that elevate one race over another to fix these past wrongs.
The opportunity exists, through hard work and sacrifice, for this generation of minorities to end the cycle of poverty. Even inner city schools today are better resources than what many white people got a generation ago.
How much more until these "injustices" are finally made right? Can we write a check and be done with it?
The fact is, there are segments of black culture and the black community that are just as culpable for their place in today's society and blaming it on past oppressions is so hollow as to be completely meaningless at this point.
Some segments of racism still exist. Law enforcement has a problem with it. The criminal justice system does too.
But workplace racism in any major city? Almost entirely eradicated. Same goes for education opportunities across the public university sphere of any state. There are so many footholds already in place to pull yourself out of the cycle that I have no pity for those who are stuck in it.
The ignored but obvious fact is that single parenthood/having more children than you can afford to support is the only legitimate excuse for crippling poverty in the United States today, and such a scenario is almost completely avoidable through responsible decisions. You cannot blame whitey for that anymore.
