If you don't understand why people are angry about disparities imagine that 51% of crimes happen in one neighborhood, and yet 99% of the time somebody is murdered by a cop it happens in that neighborhood. Or beaten by a cop. Or stopped and questioned while walking at night. The reality of disparities in enforcement are less extreme but still statistically significant.

Turn off the bot mode and educate yourself before having opinions, teen.
We have already noted one kind of economic and social mobility, the movement of people out of the lowest income brackets in the course of their own working lifetime. A major study at the University of Michigan has followed the same individuals— tens of thousands of them— over a period of decades. Among individuals who are actively in the labor force, only 5 percent of those who were in the bottom 20 percent in income in 1975 were still there in 1991, compared to 29 percent of those in the bottom quintile in 1975 who had risen to the top quintile by 1991. 4 8 More than half of those in the bottom quintile in 1975 had been in the top quintile at some point during these years. 49 However, as we have also seen, not everyone is working, especially in the lowest income brackets. The rises of those who are working indicates what opportunities there are. How many people take advantage of those opportunities is another question.
