So, it's the white person's fault, who attended University and went into significant debt to make an average income whereby basically the only extra thing that they can enjoy is an occasional lunch out, that the average black person in the region did not do the same? How? Before school, I couldn't afford lunches out either.

Black people aren’t allowed to go to college I guess .
I’ve witnessed this in real life, and it wasn’t a social experiment but a standard business practice. There is a Spanish deli I go to. They don’t discriminate on race, but on language. Spanish speakers get a discount, and English speakers (white/black/Asian/etc.) pay more. This is widely known among all patrons, but frankly their food is so good that nobody stops going there or reports them. It is wrong tho.
Most people I know would consider this idea as an absolutely insane idea.
There's no question that something should be done in order to offset prior injustices. However, the approach to the resolution of that problem lies somewhere within education and the black community itself.
If there are to be any extensions in the form of handouts, it should be through education or training and self-improvement programs, NOT any freaking food or clothing kiosks.
That's just in-your-face inflammatory racial antagonism....Why you say?
Because all relatively poor people would feel that they deserve an equivalent discount and would resent being excluded simply because of the color of their skin. It works both ways...
However, if done through education, ie free education as long as you can maintain a 3.2 or better GPA ( this might be better offered to all Americans). Perhaps offer a program for free or reduced childcare (this too might be better offered to all Americans).
Whatever social readjustment required, more initiative to address African-American social problems and disparities should come from concerned African-Americans themselves.

While I do understand your frustration, you do seem to miss a very significant historical point.
From slavery to Jim Crow to Ferguson to Charlotte, N.C to today____RACISM does exist and does negatively impact the black community, just as it always has throughout history.
This is just an obvious universally recognized fact.
No white American can make this complaint.
However, the manner in which to address this systemic problem should not be addressed in the marketplace.
It's a great outlet for white guilt, so they can virtue signal about it on facebook.
So I think I'm beginning to get the message, finally...
If you're a right-winger, or you have "right" or conservative inclinations, you highlight the shame in "white guilt".
That would automatically follow that somewhere there exists some "white" theoretical narrative that refutes white guilt and points to white liberals or the "left" for possessing such guilt.
I suspect some kinda white supremacist rhetoric exists along these lines somewhere....
