complication caused by being a disfavored race in America.

For example, a black physician is more likely to be stopped in a random traffic stop than a white physician. Black physicians have to give their kids "the talk." White physicians don't.

There isn't a level of success at which black people are as secure as white people.

Researchers from Stanford's Computational Journalism Lab and the School of Engineering found that black drivers are generally stopped at a higher rate than white motorists, and Latinos are stopped at a similar or lower rate than whites, after adjusting for age, gender, time and location.

After being stopped, black and Latino drivers are ticketed, searched and arrested more often than whites. For example, when pulled over for speeding, black drivers are 20% more likely than whites and Latino drivers 30% more likely than whites to be ticketed. Black and Latino drivers are about twice as likely to be searched compared with whites.
