First self-made US female millionaire and billionaire were black women

[Annie11111]

Madam C. J. Walker - first millionaire

Oprah - first billionaire

How the hell is that possible in a country where black women were and still are the most discriminated race and sex combined?

Because despite Americas very racist pockets it is actually a very multicultural country where a significant proportion of the population are non white (isn't it over 50%?).
Think about it logically; despite its white supremacist groups America has a black president. Why do you think that might be?
I am very pleased that Americas first millionaire and billionaire were black women as it laughs directly in the faces of the racist and sexist members of Americas population.

Missynreasonable they were the first women who achieved that, not the first people! That would really have been quite something!

Well

Women are people too but ykwim!

Wishful thinking on my part!

I had a feeling this would be you Annie...
