Absolutely. If anything, there has been a tremendous degree (increasing steadily over the years) of artificially generated black privilege in this nation since about the 1960s, and they still can't, for the most part, succeed as a group. You nailed the situation for them. Any effort on their part, with even an average intelligence, and they would find themselves high earning positions instantly upon graduation, while Whites have to be much smarter, and earn higher grades, to match them in that regard.
