Yes, being black in a mostly white neighborhood can lead to targeting as well. I'm not clear on what point, if any, you're trying to make now.

The point I've been making this entire time, how black people are much more likely to be harassed by police than white and poor people. The "poor white people have it just as bad" angle is wrong.
Then we don't particularly disagree on most items. Poor people are harassed (as I've noted, they're fairly easy to target). Black people are harassed. Poor black people are doubly harassed as a result, and institutional racism has ensured there's a higher proportion of poverty there as well.
