Your experience is sadly very parochial, and simply anecdata.

Meaningful systemic racism is far more problematic than your experience with a few rural black males.

And yet we are so quick to dismiss their own livd experience and/or not believe them. Frankly "this happens almost never, but it happened once to me" is far more real to pretty much every human on this planet. I was routinely beat up by a certain racial group of people growing up. I still cannot feel threatened by their presence, from what I know of the brain it's literally encoded in my body.
