Physically, I don't think there's much question to the answer as you've already provided ample evidence of.
Mentally and socially I don't think so.
There's a collective victim mentality which has no basis in reality in this day and age.
While thousands upon thousands are victims to 'the man' forcefully keeping certain people in run down projects with no hope for escape - others are living in multi-million dollar homes in the best neighborhoods in the country. Same race, different outcome. Is it ability or luck? Of course not. It's a matter of, "Hey, I don't want to live like this any more, what can I do to change it."
Ask Master P, P diddy or any other rich P-named guy if they're incapable victims.
Will Smith could buy and sell fine caucasian "gentlemen" (bah) like myself all day long.. Was he born different than his crack addicted counterparts? Nope.
Sure, there are some differences (as there are in people in general, not just racially) but in the grand scheme of things we're all a lot more alike and capable than most people would be comfortable admitting.
