Oh, yeah, I forgot about that one, "But what about rich sportsmen and performers who are black? But what about over 50% of Washington DC cops being black? But what about Oprah? But what about that President who was black? What about Trevor McDonald? I bought some 'Black Farmer' sausages once. etc etc etc That just proves there isn't any discrimination."
It is very easy to knock down the claim that 'no black people can succeed' and 'all white people have it easy'. But nobody is actually making that claim. The point is that most white people do not get harassed or oppressed or disadvantaged just because of the colour of their skin (even if they have other problems), and most black people do (even if they manage to reach the top anyway).
And if you feel you have to put up fake 'but what about' arguments to resist accepting that well-proven problem, and doing something about it, then as someone once said, "Have you considered professional help?"
