Race isn't the only thing, but it does hit black kids harder across all socioeconomic strata than white kids.
A white kid from from a single mom family in the Projects is going to have a harder time than a black kid from a two parent stable household in suburbia.
Having grown up in two diametrically opposed places: One of 4 white kids in the Projects with a single mom and the stable family house in professional communities with the remarried dad (Army base overseas, all kids of all races that got along surprisingly well) I can compare both groups. No panacea but I lived it.
