60% of African Americans surveyed said blacks often faced discrimination when they applied for jobs or housing

What do they expect when they strut in looking like gangstas with do-rags, pants hanging down to their knees, speaking ebonics, and grabbing their nether regions?

Call it what you might.
A larger percentage of serious crimes are committed by a small percentage of the overall population.
If that group of crime minded happened to be 85 year old Quaker widows then I think most folks may be reluctant to rent
to or take tea with them too.

I actually had someone come in for an interview last month dressed like that. The job posting stated must speak English properly and clearly. Less than 5 minutes into the interview it was over after having to ask “What did you just say?”. Ebonics, street slang & hip hop talk have no place in my department where we have to deal with multi million dollar customers.
