The most portrayed black folks in America in terms of success either hold a mic or catch/shoot/run with a ball, so instead of the black youth trying to cure disease, feed the poor, et cetera, they are trained to believe there best chance of success is to become a rapper or sports athlete.

Personally, I think blacks perpetuate this problem. West complains about perception of successful blacks holding a microphone or basketball.
But blacks that are successful in other fields are seen as sellouts. Look at Jalen Rose and his comments about the blacks at Duke being "different" blacks because they weren't poor.
Even the black community then looks down at those that become doctors and lawyers. Instead, only the rappers celebrating violence and misogyny get glorified.
