Except that other minorities, such as Jews, have also faced horrific bigotry - and if you don’t think losing your grandmother, aunt, and cousins to Hitler doesn’t cause psychological damage, think again. Yet Jews are at the top, or close to it, in terms of achievement.Actually it is There is a psychological component that a lot of people who do not face racism ignores or denies that exist. Your are not one of those people Billo, I post this for those who are.
“On occasion, the emotional weight of racism can lead African Americans to engage in maladaptive coping, such as remaining in denial, engaging in substance use, aggression, self-blame – even in extreme cases suicide (i.e., Black Lives Matter activist Marshawn McCarrel) and terrorism (i.e., Dallas shooter Micah Xavier Johnson). These responses are harmful and lead to negative, long-term consequences.”

Members of the racist subculture ignore the psychological damage created by racism and run to the failed culture claim. The culture that has failed is the culture that continues to foster, maintain, deny and excuse white racism. The psychological impact of racism is why I say that the root cause of the problems blacks face is white racism. People like the OP are ignorant relative to the psychological damage and so you see then posting stuff like what we see here then asking blacks to give them solutions for that when the real solution is for whites to work on ending racism in their communities.
OOPS! I just remembered I’m not supposed to give that as an example to negate your constant claims and whining that we don’t know what it feels like to be despised, or that being on the receiving end of such bigotry explains away failures.
Quit your excuse-making and tell your community that what is holding them back is the high OOW birthrate, which leads to greater poverty and the higher crime rate among blacks.
Correct for these behaviors and who knows? Blacks could well be as successful as Jews!
