Compound Disinterest 

300+ years of the United States not only failing to help black people, but oppress, jail and financially strangle them to the point where the hole is so deep there's almost no way out. A total disinterest in black lives compounded by time = systemic racism. It's why the average net worth of a middle class white couple is 10x that of a middle class black couple.
Discrimination based on race and ethnici ty takes many forms. The United States has made progress in eliminating some of the legalized racial discrimination of years past such as slavery, Jim Crow laws, “separate but equal” schools, and
prohibitions on voting or owning land. But the compound disinterest in black lives has taken its toll in things like the formation of "ghettos" due to redlining and school performance and test scores being almost distinctly tied to income levels.

disinternested 

The facial expression describing people otherwise-distracted by the computer but pretending to be paying attention. The face might be turned towards the speaker, but the eyes are vacant, and their hands are still on the keyboard; it’s clear they're only half-listening.
Mom? Mom! I don't appreciate that look of disinternest when I'm trying to tell you my boyfriend just broke up with me!

Yes, I DID tell you I was going away for the weekend; you were disinternested, but I did tell you.

misinterest 

Mistaken Interest.
As a matter of habit and causual etiquette, Kevin said "What's up?" to John in the breakroom, expecting nothing more than a brief, if not exact reply. In a clear case of misinterest, John went on to describe his date with Meg (the hot new secretary), in mindnumbing detail.
