You have no listening skills going right now.   I never blamed all problems of blacks on discrimination, but I sure as heck wasn't going to say race didn't play a part in Employer hiring, Admission to social groups, ability to live in white neighborhoods, promotions.
Reaction of police, court judgements.  
 
You can not feel in your gut what a life of a black male means and neither can I.   You don't feel the stares, you don't get followed around the store, you aren't call stupid because you speak in the language of your daily life.

Racial bias is very hard if not impossible to recognize in ourselves.   What we can do, is be honest and see clear social discrimination.  

Most law 'on the books' now bans discrimination.   What it can't enforce is a change in our heart or head.  The law can't stop bigotry and in many cases can't prove discrimination.    

I do not believe your intention is to harm anybody, but IMO you don't recognize the daily discrimination a black person knows.
