The bottom line is - If you're black, you need a white person to vouch for you because the default value assigned to you is "Suspicious, possibly Criminal".

In 2018, if you're black how you're dressed doesn't matter. What your ID says doesn't matter. Where you live doesn't matter.

If you're black you are suspect until the proper white folk approval ritual is performed
