"If America is as irredeemably racist as the various black CNN and MSNBC contributors, commentators and hosts claim, how did they get their positions?

"If America is as irredeemably racist as the various black CNN and MSNBC contributors, commentators and hosts claim, how did they get their positions?
Was it because they were highly qualified and good at their jobs or did some hateful, racist white person hire them?
It's all so tiresome to see and hear these obviously successful - college professors, lawyers, and media personalities - use their forums to trash the very system that created an opportunity for them to succeed. For example, Don Lemon, who is black, gay, is married to a white guy, and hosts a major daily show on CNN, reportedly makes around $2 million a year and has a net worth of over $15 million. 
The horrible Joy Reid, recently promoted by MSNBC, reportedly received a raise to $1.5 million a year and has a net worth of around $6.5 million.

One wonders how Lemon and Reid would explain their personal successes in the face of such racism because these two clearly cannot claim they are not successful.
If they say their success is due to their own hard work and ability, it negates their premise that racism held them back. 
If they say that they were given their jobs because they are black, that would be to admit they are tokens and still slaves to the white corporations. 
There is no evidence they "struggled" and "fought" the KKK to get where they are - Lemon was the president of his senior class at Baker High School in Baker, Louisiana, went to LSU before transferring and graduating from Brooklyn College and Reid grew up on the mean streets of Denver, Colorado, her parents met in graduate school, her mother was a college professor and her father an engineer. 
She graduated from Harvard.
Yet both are all in on systemic racism and Critical Race Theory.
As I have previously noted, CR theorists are notoriously poor role models for their cause because they have to deny their own accomplishments to sustain a narrative that they were held back by whitey.
It is all so grating because it is all such an obvious, massive falsehood and a huge waste of everybody's time and attention."
