Dude.. If out of a population of 10,000 you have 100 wheel-chair bound men who excel... can you argue that men in wheel-chairs have it easy now and there is no need for special handicap treatment?
The facts show that it is MUCH HARDER to achieve even mediocrity, far less excel as a black person than it is for a white person in America. (In the world actually..but that's another topic I suppose). Whether a small % of the black population has excelled or not is immaterial to the above facts. A Black person is more LIKELY to be poor than a white person in the US. You cannot argue against this, it is FACT. It is better now than it was, but it is no where near parity, and nowhere near equality yet.
