Afterthoughts on White Supremacy

In the US, 87% of the top 5% of household incomes are white. By comparison, African Americans make up only 1.04%. However, blacks make up 10% of the US population, so how is it that only 1% is represented in the top 5%? The answer is not clear, and may be one of many things. Perhaps it's just a coincidence. Perhaps it is the product of a particular genetic anomaly that makes blacks not as smart as whites. It could be anything. But while the concept of "white supremacy" was done away with long ago, its shadow can still be found looming over the USA. It is not actively acting against blacks, instead, this white supremacist movement is more of a passive front sweeping the nation. Perhaps there is some underlying cosmic force that simply denies blacks the proportional representation in our government. We don't think about it, but maybe an underlying subconscious impulse influences our (whites that is) attitude and acceptance towards blacks. I would ask you to not confuse this with racism, as a majority of Americans are not malicious nor angry towards the African American race. Instead, perhaps a part of our brain convinces us without our knowledge that we are somehow better then the black community in some way. This maybe prevents blacks an equal chance in our country that we whites enjoy. So no, I do not believe in an overlying white supremacist mindset that we still partake in. I instead prefer to believe that hard coded into our brains is the thought that we are somehow better then blacks. We do not actively act on these impulses, but these thoughts influence our decisions and change the way we behave towards African Americans.
