No such thing as Childhood Innocence when young and Black.
Black boys as young as 10 may not be viewed in the same light of childhood innocence as their white peers, but are instead more likely to be mistaken as older, be perceived as guilty and face police violence if accused of a crime, according to new research published by the American Psychological Association.

Black students make up just 18 percent of children in U.S. preschools, but make up half of those youngsters who are suspended.
Black boys receive two-thirds of all school suspensions nationwide – all demographics and both genders considered.
In Chicago, 75 percent of all students arrested in public schools are Black.
What’s most troubling is that not all of the Black boys taken from their schools in handcuffs are violent, or even criminals. Increasingly, school-assigned law enforcement officers are leading these students from their schools hallways for minor offenses, including class disruption, tardiness and even non-violent arguments with other students.

Though black girls and women face deep inequality on many measures, black and white girls from families with comparable earnings attain similar individual incomes as adults. *Source; NY Times
