I would say it starts off as socioeconomic status as blacks tend to be much higher in rates of poverty stemming back to the ghettos before CRA was passed. I think that many people talk of "white privilege" without taking into account what that really means, are whites getting more jobs than blacks? Are colleges bringing in more white students than black? etc.

My point is that it is obvious that there is a problem of racial-based poverty and mass incarceration, but I think the way we fix it is through programs to assist not only the black community, but everyone stricken with these problems. I believe that's the American way.
