> "Why should I feel proud of my accomplishments, when the accomplishments were spoon-fed to me by the company because of my skin color?"
Because they're still your accomplishments. White people hardly ever ask if they should be proud of their accomplishments when they live in a society that assumes they should and will succeed.
> "If I were a white man with the same experience, I might not even be here?"
If you were a black man with the same experience, you also might not even be there. Many aren't. Statistically, most aren't (in the sense that relative to the population, black men are still extremely under-represented in tech).
