-Not offered the same opportunities, given their skin color
-Greeted with low expectations
-Expected to fail
-Type cast as athlete and/or entertainer
-Told that he's an elitist because he attended Harvard Law?

So, should I excuse the black men who sell drugs and use guns illegally?

You mention nothing about the consequences, Mr. Consequences, for doing wrong or breaking the law? Or, are cops above the law?

You act as though becaus their cops it does not matter. Guess what? In America, it matters!
Unfortunately, in America these days the the maxim of Thucydides has become gospel more and more: the strong do as they can, and the weak suffer as they must.
