They have admissions to college and professional programs weighted heavily in their favor. And in liberal cities, where I have always lived, they are prioritized for hiring and promotions, too.
Name the colleges and uni's that are lowering the bar to allow all these dumb blk pp in ?

As far as whites rolling out the red carpet for blacks, huh? (People don’t exactly roll out the red carpet for Jews, either.)
Jews are (at least in the U.S.) seen as whites. They are accepted as part of the grand schema of European civilization. They are viewed as intelligent, hard-working and successful. Unlike black people who are still typified as lazy, unintelligent, prone to crime.
Getting white ppl to acknowledge the humanity of a group of white people (
however much this group may differ from most of them in terms of religion and certain cultural traditions) is a far cry from convincing them of the equal value of blks who don’t look like them, who might not speak the same language, and who are routinely viewed as taking white jobs and soaking up welfare.
Because even when white people are enemies they will put all that to one side when it comes to black people. That's why in WW2, when the USA used to capture German POW's on the ships, despite USA being at war with the Germans. The German POW's were still allowed to eat in the same mess hall as the white USA Americans soldiers but the black Americans soldiers weren't.
Inter-ethnic discrimination is different than racism. In the former, a common or similar skin tone allows all within that group to become convinced, if they were not already, of their common bond with others of that skin tone. But racism, by prioritizing certain outward characteristics as paramount to categorization, makes such recognition infinitely more difficult.

You are sounding entitled - like blacks deserve extra special treatment (“red carpet.”)
Try to rwd my words, instead of trying read my mind

All they are entitled to is an opportunity, just like anyone else.
Black people in America can expect to have a hard time finding a job, and be paid less for it when we do get it.
We can expect to have a harder time getting a loan, and pay a higher price when we do.
Blk ppl can expect to have a harder time finding an apartment or a house, which may make it more likely that they end up in a “certain neighborhood,” which can reduce their access to investment, reduce the quality of their children’s education,
Blk ppl can expect to be viewed and treated as dangerous criminals, hail a taxi, or even move into a neighborhood.
Black ppl can expect to have a hard time getting accepted to college and receive the same treatment from professors and advisors once they’re there.
Black people can expect that an officer with an attitude problem or a quota to fill might arrest them on bogus charges, or maybe even plant evidence.
Black peoplel can expect police officers to operate under the assumption that they are guilty, and they can expect to be railroaded by the justice system—even to the point of being forced to take guilty pleas when they are innocent.
This will happen even if black people are doing their best to do everything right.
God forbid if a blk person should make a mistake.
Then Blk ppl can expect to be treated as criminals by teachers, given harsher sentences (longer suspensions, quicker expulsions, etc., both of which remove them from school and expose them to the gang element in their neighborhood).
Blk ppl can expect to be arrested, charged, convicted, and imprisoned for offenses that a large percentage of whites consider part of “being a teenager” or a college student.
We can expect stiffer charges, higher conviction rates, and longer sentences.
And you talk about opportunity ?
