It's been my observation that "most of the really successful Blacks" are
because (sic) of their hard work, just like most successful whites.

What a wonderfully mind-expanding forum this is.

One of our friends just finished her medical residency at a nearby
teaching hospital. She's 36 or 37, orphaned while a young teen,
grandparents on another continent, and a single mom. She had foster
parents who provided her with shelter until she was 18 and then she
left. On her own ever since. Oh, and she's black. She got to where she
is today by working her butt off.

Ke-rist.

It's a given that successful means they worked their tails off. Where did
this woman get her values? Some life lesson made a difference. You are not
talking about an American here who grew up in the black culture. In any
case well done to her.
