I could spend a considerable amount of time deconstructing much of what you said, but I'm just not inclined at the moment. Perhaps I'm not because I've deconstructed Freepers' malformed statements and opinions about blacks so many times before. It gets wearisome.

It's not that everything you said is untrue. It's that it doesn't apply straight across the boards, which makes it a suppressive generality.

Having the most expensive pair of sneakers or the most women knocked up also seems part of black self esteem.

Yes, and all us darkies love fried chicken and watermelon more than anything else on earth. /s

I’m not saying anything is absolute, but there is a preponderance of need for pursuing self esteem in the black community, and much of it does not help them. Gang bangers have too much self esteem. Trayvon had too much Voting for the “First Black President” or A drugged out Jesse Jackson Jr or Marion Barry does not help them improve their own lives, but it has been sold to blacks as a “sign” or as validation. Until Clarence Thomas and Thomas Sowell are revered and respected, and I’ll say it, as much socialist MLK, and by a measurable percentage, black culture is at a loss.

Skip the racial epithets and race baiting.
