"One thing is for sure, we didn't have success like Oprah Winfrey under Jim Crow"This is not the Jim Crow Era. But I think I know what you are trying to do. Yes, there were a few successful Blacks during the Jim Crow Era , and racism was much more of a problem then than it is now, One thing is for sure, we didn't have success like Oprah Winfrey under Jim Crow.Tell me something, were there any super successful blacks during the Jim Crow era?It's really simple, many black people are wealthy and powerful. Hell, we just had a black man as president, who is often referred to as the most powerful person in the world. That does not mean there is no racism and it does not mean that racism is never an obstacle. However, wealth and power is there for black people to take; the system is not stopping them.
Ironic, you often like to brag about the accomplishments of blacks. Why not now?
Madam C. J. Walker went from rags to riches during the Jim Crow Era.
Thats because Jim Crow was legal. Now that discrimination is illegal in hiring Jim Crow has become unofficial but maintained in other ways. Its easier to avoid and beat.
