It is not a claim, it is a fact.
I have to say, you are the first person i have ever come across that said racism is not a problem.

I was looking at some polling of African-Americans. A majority say that they are treated fairly by the police. Granted it is a bare majority, but it is a majority. Not only that, more blacks than whites actually want a greater police presence in their neighborhood. The way the media portrays it, you would think that the vast majority of black people strongly dislike the police. As I said before, I don't understand why the media gives BLM all this coverage, when BLM does not even come close to representing most black people.

Here is the poll:

In another poll they ask black people the following question: "Do blacks have as good a chance as whites in your community to get any kind of job for which they are qualified?" 40% say yes. 59% say no. So there are plenty of black people (40%) who don't think there is discrimination in getting jobs.

Then they were asked the following question: "Do black children have as good a chance as white children in your community to get a good education?" The majority say yes. 55% say yes. 44% say no.

Then they were asked, "Do blacks have as good a chance as whites in your community to get any housing they can afford?" The majority say yes. 56% say yes. 43% say no.
