  1. It may be too early in my RWG life to get into such a polarizing conversation but i will give it a go.

    I am Black.

    I am well educated (world and classroom) and dress in a suit most days for work. i find that i have been treated a whole host of ways by people of all races including mine, not just whites, from being followed in stores, to being invited over for dinner with my wife, to being looked at as a sellout with my spensive suit and my proper english. The first is the due to the more prevalent view of black youth (thug, antagonistic etc.) and the second is due to the friendships i have made when people get to know and understand who i am, The third i believe is a deep-rooted sense of entitlement. But who is going to change these views? The white, Asian, or Latino people who are concerned about their families and their own lives? Or the Black man who has children with different women that he is not taking care of, perpetuating a cycle of dismal living, and hopes for a basketball or music career. The only thing that will change that overarching view of black youth, is when it stops being true.

    I personally feel that the black community is holding on to racism as on would hold on to a crutch, even though the injury should have started to heal by now. The white people for the most part have moved on, sure there are pockets of resistance but i know black people who feel the same way about whites.

    The black centric institutions that the author spoke of were necessary during the civil rights movement but useless in a society where acceptance of black people who have proven ability to perform on the level of their white peers is now becoming the norm.

    White students now go to Morehouse, black kids any school in the US. It is changing fast and these crutches are no longer needed as much as they used to be.

    I will not raise my kids believing they are owed anything by anybody!

    So is he racist?

    Hell Yeah, but he may be right.
