"NO ONE HATES BLACKS". You sir, are seriously deluded. Racism is very much alive in ALL circles. You are just quoting the same thing every non-black person say because it's so cliche to say. You mentioned an Arab father and as someone that spent time working in that part of the world when it comes to racism those guys are up there. This is just a personal observation. Take it or leave it, I don't care. However this is in no way a reflection on your dad. I don't know him. On topic, yes there is. As a white person, globally more doors are opened to you. I am not just focusing on the US ( I only lived there for a short time). I worked with a Caribbean bloke and we traveled Europe, Asia, the Middle East and North America together. Being white is definitely an advantage. However I know this is not in the context you are implying. I do get what you are saying and to an extent I agree with you. But at the root of the problem is racism itself which many people don't want to acknowledge exist. I know a racist guy who is forever covering up his racist attitude by denial of racism in the world. The perfect double bluff. Youtube comments sections say a lot about the state of racism in the world. Behind the keyboard you can hide.

I never said blacks have no form of disadvantage.
However, what's currently happening is that the gap between blacks and whites is closing, and in a very quick manner.
They went from being slaves to citizens in less than 200 years. That says a lot. Many black people are exaggerating what they're going to. While yes, some people are prejudiced against blacks, some people may have a reason to be skeptical- the generation of current blacks is disappointing. Many are amazing people, but there are large amounts of wanna-be gangsters that do nothing but make it harder for black people.
FYI, you do know that racism isn't as strong as it used to be though, right? It'll not take that long to solve the problems many blacks are facing(and other minorities). More people are widening their range for all types of people, and criticism against lack of diversity is everywhere nowadays.
Oh, and Asians actually get paid more than White people in the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_groups_in_the_United_States_by_household_income
Somali Americans seem to be getting paid less than African Americans nowadays.
