Racism: a Very Short Introduction cites US studies from the sixties, the nineties, and most recently Whitewashing Race (Brown et al, 2003), all of which demonstrate that "... institutional racism continues to blight black lives. Inadequate housing, the product of years discrimination and 'white flight', and poorly resourced schools lead to low educational achievement, lower admissions to colleges, and poor employment prospects."

I'd be very interested to see some of the statistics you mention.
