Critique of Black Culture

Thank you Dar. I agree. People are people. We have a natural tendency to break the world down to us and them, but I have a major problem with the people that stand up and cry for equality and an end to discrimination while perpetuating the us vs them mentality.

The laws in America have been changed to end segregation and the other nasty elements that went along with it. that happened years ago, we are still in the ongoing process of eliminating the thought process that is racism. the problem is that there are people who benefit by keeping the us vs them going (Jackson, Sharpton, some of the leadership of the NAACP). having a cause to champion is the key to their power and authority. if they encouraged a truly color blind society like MLK, Jr envisioned and spoke of, they would see their locus of power dissipate.

there are still many ignorant people with subconscious racially biased thought processes that affect their actions. there will always be some ignorant fools who consciously and purposely promote racism. we all know the KKK still exists and most americans despise them for what they are - ignorant, cruel fools who want to keep our society divided and racially conflicted. But the KKK aren't the only ones who do this - I believe, to a degree, Jackson, Sharpton, and Co. do the exact same thing just with different verbage.

The only way to truly end racially motivated discrimination and ignorant behavior is for the groups to integrate and know each other as individuals. the average person has biases against certain groups of people, but they may have friends that fall into those groups. They don't have any problems with that person and respect and view them just as any other person. That person has been removed from the group bias because the biased individual knows them as a person.

As long as we have large groups of people rallying together because of their "differentness" then we will have fear, ignorance, descrimination, and all the nasty things that go along with it.
