How would a white person understand a non-white's day to day reality? A list of successful blacks is actually indicative that the problems caused by prejudice and racism have not been solved to the point where they can now be ignored.
As Chris Rock says, the guy living next to him is a Doctor. Not a great Doctor, but a good Doctor. There's another guy that's a banker.Similarly, he's not one of the top investment bankers in his firm either. Chris Rock says he's the only Black person on his street, and he had to be one of the best comediennes in the world to get there. He also mentioned the Neighborhood that Jay Z lives in and went onto a few other stars. All this to illustrate that yes there are successful black people, because of Prejudice and racism they all have to excel and be the very best to achieve and obtain what a good white individual is able to. And have you seen Tiger Wood's stats? He is a mega success, and is still the best athlete in the world because of those stats. His private life and the mistakes he made have zero bearing on what he has accomplished thus far. Unless of course if you found out Bach was a wife-beater, he would no longer be one of the greatest composers in the world.
