The Successful Black Man

      

 

 

When you see a successful black man in America, most white folks feel like that black man owes them something- personally. When in reality, they collectively tried to keep him from achieving it. And the moment that black man fails to acknowledge that every white man- no matter how despicable or low in life he is- is still greater than him because he wears white skin- that’s the moment they collectively try to take everything from that black man- everything they never wanted him to have in the first place.
