Yes. All that being what it is...I would refer those interested in the overall social impact of what you lay out to Charles Murray's last book (a very short but interesting collection of statistics and thoughts)...."Facing Reality: Two Truths About Race In America".
We have problems, causes and victims of all kinds. Sometimes how severe depends on how much thought and concern one pays to them. That often correlates to one' wealth, circumstance (SES) and degree of interest.
All our "troubles" are true. More-so to those most concerned about them.
To the rest of our 350+ fellow citizens which range from not knowing who George Washington was to what LaBron James thinks today, onward to getting a STEM qualifying education, little of all that matters.
A massive heterogeneous national population built on destroying former aristocracies, former slavery and world immigration is not easily accommodated via a government model that is NOT supposed to define and command the people's economic and social life. It all takes great "self-governance". That takes awareness of personal responsibility, awareness of issues, sense of mission and taking into account human nature.
After WW2, we did, I think, a pretty good job of rebooting and dealing with the pressures of fixing some great government social flaws (Civil Rights, Voting and Housing Rights). The rest of changing hearts and minds took us from Jackie Robinson to Tiger Woods (see 18th green in 2019 Masters (YouTube)).
Our biggest problem is not anything anyone tends to talk about. Which is how to protect our individual rights under the law and equal opportunity to speak and seek.
