Because it's very easy for some people to blame others for their problems.
OK.....what problems do I have that I blame on whites?

I do acknowledge that some whites are anti-black (just as some blacks are anti-white), but I don't agree with your statement that there is a white power-structure that controls everything.
Don't look at four black people...............Look at the overall demographics of these industries, the compensation levels and just who occupies which positions in these industries. Just because there are 4 black CEOs doesn't disprove what I said.
Actually, I think it does. You said,

blacks are kept out of many occupations (finance, technology, etc) that are lucrative. And that is definitely racism.
.
Pointing out four companies in those fields with black CEOs or Presidents completely DESTROYS your hypothesis. Clearly, blacks are NOT kept out of these fields. You may want to believe that blacks are kept out of those fields, but you'll have to show me some proof of it. I've given some proof that you're wrong. Counter it with fact, if you like.

Not in the least.

The only thing you have proven is that there are four black people in these fields.

What really irks me is how folks just lump all whites as if we all somehow share a common culture. I'm sorry but we whites don't have just one common culture. Whites are made up of diverse cultural groups that have origins in Europe. I don't particularly celebrate holidays such as Oktober Fest as I'm not German.

How are they "kept out" of those occupations? To get anywhere in life, one must make sacrifices and work hard. This does not guarantee success but not making sacrifices and by not working hard, you are pretty much guaranteed failure. There needs to come a time where people need to quit blaming white folks for their lack of success.

If there are "four" (I'm sure the number is actually higher) blacks who hold high level positions within these fields, then how are they kept out then? As I stated previously, it takes hard work and tons of sacrifices for someone to attain a high level position. A person's skin color has no bearings on it.

You're right. You're the expert.
I don't know any black people who work hard.
