As to why, this is just one of those disadvantages one faces when being born black. Chances are you grow up poor and with way less opportunities, for there's hardly a ladder out of that when your family is poor, and to a large extent this is the result of decade-long discrimination that takes generations to overcome, if ever.

But you said "white is the new black", and I took issue with that.

I think his point, and forgive me if I'm not getting this right, is that while it was once acceptable to be racist towards blacks it is no acceptable to be racist towards whites.  I certainly wouldn't compare what's going on now to the historical treatment of black people in this country and I would hope no one else would be insane enough to do so.
