Now, you and I are going to get in major trouble suggesting that for a black person to succeed in this country, you have to be far better because than all other candidates when all other things are equal or you will be denied opportunity... I am sure that does not happen... Perish the thought... I would say that I know some very accomplished people... I have a friend in LA who I have know for 12 years.... She is one of those black women that puts all of these statistics in doubt... www.marshapowell.com

A person does not have to be black to know that there are legions of black people who are succeeding just like everyone ELSE. SOME people are only surrounded by the rubbish gangsta rapper and to them that's the sum total of black achievement. They LOVE to wallow in their ignorance, instead of challenging their OWN personal prejudices. I know too many people who are black, who have been through HELL with racism and prejudice and poverty then turned out better than a lot of my white friends (who thought they could just slide through life with daddy's money). SOME people just do not want to know, meet, be friends with intelligent smart dynamic black people so they can continue to post how black people are lazy,single parents,stupid, committ crimes and get their degrees in prison.
