DeGrasse Tyson was probably a bad example because he's well-known, although not rich. But consider a black person who's upper middle class but not well-known like him. Take a neighborhood mostly populated by black upper middle-class. Would the residents be treated worse than the residents of a white upper middle-class neighborhood?

It would be less likely, but it does happen. Like if you're dirt poor, you might have some negative interaction with police multiple times a week. If you're upper middle class, you've probably had them a few times in your life, but you've almost certainly had some sort of negative experience with police if you're black and especially male in America.

I see. What irritates me about people who do not live in the US who read what American commentators say about this, pick a side and then talk about this stuff with any conviction. It's impossible to understand what's going on without first-hand experience or accounts of people you know personally or experiencing life in the country as a whole. Going only by what's written on the Internet would be a serious mistake. (Not that I have any reason not to believe you.)

Yea, that irritates me too. Lot's of people with zero first hand experience and super strong opinions.

O.J. Simpson did and that was in the early 1990's.

True, but at the time, that's why that was such a HUGE scandal. Such a weird situation. Basically black people celebrated him getting away with murder because SO MANY white people had gotten away with murdering black people over the years. He was really the first case of a black person being rich/powerful enough to get away with murder. Yea, we have a lot of issues here.
