I do not understand how a white man could not make it big and prosperous in America! The white man owns, or controls 87% of all the worlds wealth! White folk dont have racism to hold them down, and most can get money from relatives. Anyway, try being a Black man for a few days, you will see first hand what a struggle is!!!!
