I'll enter the gauntlet on this.
The argument I hear is that it's predominantly poor/under-educated Black people that have this issue with authority. I see the argument that it often extends to poor/under-educated white people as well ("florida man" comes to mind).
I think their are two issues here. Poor/under-educated Black and white individuals not respecting authority; however, the socio-economic challenges due to structural racism skew toward many Black people being systemically poor/under-educated with limited opportunities/support to overcome this. The other issue is grouping Black people together despite socio-economic differences, which often include differences on how certain Black people respect authority (as many Black people do).

Have you seen how little the needle has moved on voting patterns. No other group is as locked into group think as are black Americans.

Black and white
The fact that you capitalized Black and not White speaks volumes here...

Fortune 500 companies are falling all over themselves to hire blacks.
Don’t have kids out of wedlock at age 15 and stay in school. A clear path exists. But for the community eschewing responsibility and the traditional family, success is waiting. Give me now has to end.

The problem is...even Florida Man submits to police orders when caught.
