Historically speaking, successful social change for the better, eg revolutions, has almost always come only when certain middle class/privileged people joined with underprivileged people.
Attacking anyone who is richer or whiter than yourself, when they are on the same side as you, is stupid.
Successful for whom? You do see the problem, right?
To add to this: You do see the irony in replying to a post about white activism and its hypocrisy with “well, activism works better when white people get involved”? Right? RIGHT?
Why yes, I’m am pissy at white people. You thinking that pointing it out is some kind of “ah-ha” moment just showcases obliviousness. I do believe you’re at least curious to understand, though. Unfortunately, explaining it would require a longer response than I’m willing to type right now so I’ll leave you with some links:

Yes, you’re it.
Ah, the classic white response. Have fun.
I’m a white dude, and this reads like you’re just pissy, but I’m open to the idea I might be wrong or blinded due to my privilege.
Please explain what you’re getting at? If I’m in the wrong about this, I would love to know and become better.

Basically, white people getting involved into the problems of non-white societies very often leads to erasure and colonialism.
