Can I ask you a question? Do you know any black people that feel the system is keeping them down?
Or are you basing you opinion off of the claims of the NAACP, and the Black structure that exists in the media?
I'd also like to tack on that MOST of the people incarcerated in America (regardless of race) are non-violent drug offenders.
So while I agree that there's definitely violence associated with drugs in ANY poor area (Regardless of race).
The idea that the majority of black incarceration is associated with violence(Whether associated with drugs or not) is just not accurate.

To your first sentence, the last black guy i had true, personal friendship with was 3 years ago, he
never stopped ranting about the white man, even went to the way back machine and started bitching about how he knew my mom discouraged me from hanging out with him when we were kids because he was trouble, we damn near had a fight... and she was RIGHT lol, ALL we did together as kids was go around looking for trouble with Gibs as the prime instigator.
I hadnt seen him for 20 years then moved back to my hometown and bumped into him again, we started hanging out until i found out he was a crack dealer... always wanting a ride somewhere for something... a prospect that made me nervous as hell, thats why i cut off all contact with him shortly thereafter. Superfluous info here, but he had a chance to be so much better than he is now, his mom is the mother of one of Ken Nortons kids and she tried to put him on the right path with her connections.
Drug violence? sorry, i'm not buying what you're saying, black neighborhoods are the most violent in every single place i've lived.
