How? Do you not see why it is extremely difficult for blacks to achieve success?? The facts are being layed in front of you, its up to you to accept them.
For example, blacks who are arrested are seven times more likely to be imprisoned than whites; they are sentenced to death four times more often than whites, and the average prison sentence is 10 months longer for black men than for white men. In addition 98 per cent of District Attorneys, those responsible for initiating prosecutions, are white and black jurors are challenged far more than whites.
Black Americans make up 12.2 per cent of the American population, but black men under 25 years of age are 15 times more likely to die by murder than white men. Black men make up 48 per cent of those on death row. Of the two million people imprisoned in the US, one million are black. Yet blacks are still 20 times more likely than whites to be a victim of hate crime.The US legal system uses systematic racist techniques to convict and sentence blacks. The death penalty is racist. An in-depth study by researchers, 'Prison Nation: the Warehousing of America's Poor', found that whether someone is given the death penalty is down to the quality of legal defence, not the facts of the crime. Most of those on death row could not afford their own lawyer. So the death penalty is also a class issue - there are no rich people on death row.The National Urban League also finds:
More than 80,000 Black Americans die every year due to lack of health insurance
Black people are less likely to own their own home than any other ethnic group
Black women are five to six times more likely to receive sub prime mortgages than white males
Blacks people are three times more likely to receive higher rate mortgage loans(54.7 per cent of blacks compared to 17.2 per cent of whites)
25 percent of the black population live below the poverty line, and of those under the ages of 18, 33.5 per cent live in poverty.

Notice it doesn't say that the white people are the ones doing the murdering though...
black men under 25 years of age are 15 times more likely to die by murder than white men
I looked up the statistics on inmates on death row since 1976...and here it goes...
Here are the defendants of capital crimes...so crimes resulting in a death sentence...
56% were white
34% were black
8% were hispanic
and 2% were other...
These are the people executed by the death penalty..
These are the victims statistics for the same crimes...
So the victims were
76% white
15% black
6% hispanic
and 3% were other...
So...fewer black men get put to death...
But more white men are being killed by the death penalty and each other, and other races as well...
Because of murderers 34% were black, but only 18% of those crimes were against black people...
On death row right now,
42% are black
43% are white
12% are hispanic
3% are other.
If your victim is white you are more likely to get the death penalty, regardless of what color you are...so a white man kills a black man and he is less likely to get death than if he had killed a white man...just like a black man is more likely to get a death sentence for killing a white person, than for killing a black person...
So who gets the death penalty has nabbed more whites for killing whites...
