you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. Sometimes maybe a lot of times success is dependent on opening yourself to enduring hardships not just passively enduring them. A lot of folks black brown or whatever simply don't want put in that kind of work.
White supremacy may mitigate many of those hardships for whites, but they still have the same course of action. I can't tell you how many white folks I know that have shot themselves in the foot just for the sake of rebellion.
At the same time though there are many many people that have the deck highly stacked against them and are seemingly marked for poverty. So it can't really be overly simplified.
If you grow up with no father or mother and little access to education-- it takes something very special either within, without, or both to help straighten the curve.

Black Success has never been about individuals but the collective. The closest books I have seen come wuth solutions are a few like Dr Amos Wilson, Elijah Muhammad, and a few others.
