As the first member of my family to ever graduate from high school and who attended undergraduate education on the GI Bill or while in the service and worked part or full-time for my entire college time, I have absolutely no sympathy for your whining.

There are too many successful black people in the world who are your color and age and some even became multi-millionaires.  Dr. Ben Carson is one who comes immediately to mind.  Were you from a single mother in the Detroit projects like he was?  

The black General officers who are also your age and did their duty and excelled instead of whining are other examples.

I was at Duck U in the 60's and 70's;  Four (4) women were in the law school with me; where were you?  

Somewhere whining that failure is not your fault because your forbears were still slaves in 1864?

My family believed in that old motto; "Root, hog; or die!"  

Nothing is given; you have to work and earn it.

I don't give my name in part because of racists like you.
