355. Yes it does. What it doesn't do is reduce the difference to zero with a white person of the same

means. Sure, it depends on the job as junior partner at the firm will yield wildly different results than fry cook but even a fry cook is probably going to have less interactions with the cops and better ones when they do happen than a homeless person.
Cops ask you were you work for a reason.

It also means if you get sucked into the system you have a far better chance of not becoming a prison statistic. It means insurance is always in order, that tags are up to date, that your vehicle can be well maintained, that you can have a vehicle and not be hanging on corners for busses and hoofing around making you a sitting target for interactions, it means not depending on always overwhelmed and absurdly underfunded and too often complicit public defenders, it often means useful connections, it means not functioning by hustling doing what you got to do at the edges and on the other side of the law taking chances that generate interactions because you have to have some kind of resources to survive at all, it often means very different associations in that you are around people significantly less on the radar, it means not looking like an easy mark for extraction, it means better education and being able to deescalate a bad interaction, it means being in locations where enforcement is not riled up by default, it means being on a pattern and so not sticking out as much.

Yeah, it really fucking matters. Not having parity with whites of the same class doesn't mean there are not real, serious, and critically important benefits all the way back to in some cases being able to buy your children's freedom or not being sold into slavery in the first place.

You cannot seriously suggest that black people are jailed, targeted, beaten, or killed at the same rate regardless of wealth. Not that the wealth is a magic inoculation against such indignities and injustices because it isn't by any stretch but to say the numbers are the same regardless is somewhere between fanciful and outright dishonest.

You can repeat nonsense as many times as you like but it still will be hyperbole at best and just as phony a proposition and probably closer to untrue than the reverse.
