Maybe the problem is that the more traditional path of getting an education, working hard and grinding your way up the ladder is held in lower regard? Success is regarded as "white," and those who succeed as "race traitors."

Unless, of course, success is achieved in one of the accepted fields: generally sports or music. Both of which are very high-risk professions.
Or (quite unfortunately), drug-dealing, which is also a high-risk "profession."
So there is no clear socially-acceptable pathway to low-risk (i.e., widely available) success; at least not without being branded a 'race traitor.'
