You're right, but I'll just add this one thing: the important difference between whites and blacks is the ability to control emotions. Whites can get mad and yet retain executive function - think about what's the best course of action. Blacks get mad and everything else shuts down.
It's the same with fear. Whites can feel fear and yet still think. Blacks feel it and panic.
Start looking for this in police body cam videos and you'll see it everywhere. Why did you run? I was just gonna give you a ticket! "I was skeerd!!" Why did you flip out and attack that person? "He got me fucked up (i.e. mad)"
Obviously, there is overlap, with some whites sometimes losing control, and some blacks (particularly in the US where they have white genes) retaining control. But I think is a major difference between us.
