Did some quick research, here are some examples I found:
'
As they describe in two working papers, Redzo Mujcic and Paul Frijters, economists at the University of Queensland, trained and assigned 29 young adult testers (from both genders and different ethnic groups) to board public buses in Brisbane and insert an empty fare card into the bus scanner. After the scanner made a loud sound informing the driver that the card did not have enough value, the testers said, “I do not have any money, but I need to get to” a station about 1.2 miles away. (The station varied according to where the testers boarded.)
With more than 1,500 observations, the study uncovered substantial, statistically significant race discrimination. Bus drivers were twice as willing to let white testers ride free as black testers (72 percent versus 36 percent of the time). Bus drivers showed some relative favoritism toward testers who shared their own race, but even black drivers still favored white testers over black testers (allowing free rides 83 percent versus 68 percent of the time).
The study also found that racial disparities persisted when the testers wore business attire or dressed in army uniforms. For example, testers wearing army uniforms were allowed to ride free 97 percent of the time if they were white, but only 77 percent of the time if they were black.' - NYT, https://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/24/opinion/research-shows-white-privilege-is-real.html
https://www.thenewprogressive.net/ultimate-white-privilege-statistics/ also gives a TON of statistics, in almost every category.

We KNOW from quotes by Nixon and others that things like the War on Drugs and redlining was made to create the 'hood' and to keep black people out of suburbs and good 'white' jobs, this is not speculation, we KNOW this.
The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people," former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman told Harper's writer Dan Baum for the April cover story published Tuesday.
"You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin. And then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities," Ehrlichman said. "We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did." - CNN
And we can see it's impact in the world today.
Regarding the impact in the world today...
Are you referring to Paul Frijters claim to racism in Queensland OR John Ehrlichman?
I ask because the Dan Baum interview was done in 1994. 23 years ago. 1968 was 49 years ago. Baum alludes to the long since deceased Ehrlichman as overweight and beaten. For all I know he had Alzheimers. The point is he's dead and the guy reporting just cashed a check from Harpers.
NOW it's important for YOU to realize the majority of Americans distrust of the FAKE NEWS MEDIA. Not only has it been proven repeatedly in a major way in the last few years, it has been known and suspected and pointed out repeatedly for decades and DONALD TRUMP identified it, labeled it and blew it up.
Once you've been labeled by TRUMP...you may as well crawl in a hole. BUT THE FAKE NEWS marches on like nothing ever happened.
Now I'm gonna look into this Baum guy right after I post this, but the whole point of this exercise is not to argue what Dan Baum recalls from a quarter century ago against a defenseless corpse in the ground about...(You guys really need to move on)...Watergate.
MY CURRENT ***** IS.......DO YOU UNDERFUCKINGSTAND OR EVEN READ WHAT YOU POST? You post a lot of crap. You just see it and copy and paste it. You should really read it and understand it first. The 1960's are over. I only say this as a compassionate individual because I cringe to see you humiliated like this. PLUSEWISE I'M LAZY and I don't care to spend my valuable time correcting you. HOWEVER...I won't allow this kind of disinformation to pass as truth or with a veil of respectability. That's all. That's all I want. That's all this little response is about.
PLEASE read it before you post it. If I have to respond to a point or argument, at least make it somewhat believable or valid. THANKS!
