No one here is denying that it is possible for a person of color to succeed. What we are saying, and what systemic racism dictates, is that the system is stacked against persons of color so that the amount of work required to succeed is excessive or extreme. And, going further, that this excessive or extreme work can in the end result in no success at all at a rate not suffered by white persons.
This is a reality and not the manufactured bullshit world you want to believe in. That world, to which you believe, is a lie told by those with a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. And you've bought into it with all the gusto they've come to expect from a population with immense ego and nothing underneath. Congratulations.
So you can dangle your token black man success story in front of us all you want. But we haven't bought into the lie. So your effort is in vain.
