you are wrong...EVERYONE cannot succeed in America today...many people who are more qualified, more intelligent, just better people, get left on the sidelines, because the people who hired them only hired them to use them as tokens of color, to show that they do indeed hire minorities...then they ignore those minorities, passing over them for promotions, raises, more responsible positions, and they give those positions to white men, who are less intelligent, and less qualified...
or the ones who just don't get the job they were better qualified for, because the person doing the hiring wanted a white man...
being a white man, i don't really have anything against us in general, but the most qualified person deserves the job...no matter what color or sex they are. here's a logical argument...racist business owners are shooting themselves in the foot. they are purposely hiring inferior people to work for them, based on a meaningless criteria. they are losing efficiency, they are losing money...that's the bottom line...you hire inferior employs, you get inferior work...they make inferior products, and you quickly become known as an inferior company...
the company who actually hires the best candidates for the job, they get good workers, who are happy and productive, and actually produce superior products. they do it efficiently, produce more, better products, and become known as a superior company...who slowly displaces the inferior racist owned company...
Racism may exist as long as there are mental deficients who keep it alive, but racist business practices in the modern world are suicidal...financially, and not just morally and ethically...
so again, NO, everyone cannot succeed in America today...but the racist are driving their own businesses out of the competition....so hopefully, the ratio of people on food stamps and living in projects will change soon...a lot more incompetent white guys who don't deserve their jobs will be unemployed soon enough, and so will the guys who hired them
