There are many among you who have. Have the good sense to ask, listen and give consideration to what they have to say.
Excellent point. For example, how many people know who John Rogers is? He is an African American and was the most successful (success=high return) mutual fund manager of 2004. And you know he did it on his own, because Mr. Market is not a guilt-ridden white liberal and does not care what color you are.
Successful blacks do not get the press they should. I think it's because folks on the left like Jesse Jackson ignore them, because they don't fit the downtrodden image, and folks on the right concentrate on what the black community is doing wrong. But a little positive reinforcement never hurt anybody or any community.
