Even controlled for income, achievement disparities persist between races. Also imagine: everytime you make a bad play, you go to jail, while the white player does not. Even as children, black kids receive harsher punishments (full on suspensions) than white kids (time-outs) for similar infractions. Imagine your whole life being told that you're bad and disruptive. You might start to internalize and normalize that message, and not try very hard as a result.
