Good observations. The way blacks act in America is totally cultural. But you can’t say that lest you be branded “racist”...

Yes. Much better if your black, to act black. Move to Chicago or Detroit and learn how to shoot.

Moochelle and Bam have nothing but disdain for white people. Yesterday they appeared at black schools for commencement exercises and the bet here is that the vast majority of commencement appearances will be black schools. He is the president of the Afro-Americans and not of white America.

If by white you mean decent, hard-working, law-abiding respectful people with good Christian values, morals, and integrity that are willing to work for what they get out of life I don’t see that acting “white” should be a problem. Yes I have met many of them and I don’t look at them the same way I do drug-culture gangster thugs whose main goals in life are to “score a white chick”, get a set of wheels with gold rims, do as much weed and crack as possible and screw like rabbits leaving a trail of babies behind with no fathers while lying, cheating, stealing, and killing for what they have. They are not men of respect; just plain thugs.

Actually, the successful African Americans knock themselves out trying to “act black”.

It is not acting white it is acting with purpose and with drive, something that just happens to be celebrated by most whites and very little blacks.

Years ago Carl Rowan, a black guy who was a prominent columnist, wrote an op-ed in the washington compost titled “Acting White”. This essentially stated the moocher’s premise...so I guess the moocher joins lunchbucket joe in being a plagarist. Rowan gained some sort of attention when he was arrested for using a pistol for chasing away people in his in-ground pool at night (he was a big anti-gun ass).

Was this stated with the intent that black people should stop disdaining black children taking advantage of educational opportunities,

or with the intent/lie that white people are disdaining black children learning and “not knowing their place”?

With Michelle, I’d lean toward the latter underlying implication.

I agree. That’s what they call it though.

Cultural my butt. Since when is it cultural to wear pants low, speak in an inarticulate manner, commit genocide, or accept a substandard life simply to keep from working and then blame your lot if life on being from slaves. BS, it is caused by being lazy and an entitlement mentality fed by stupid self-loathing white do gooders supported by people in their own racec that mooch off the system and become wealthy peddling woe is me.

Moosehell is pretending to move to the center. She intends to run for political office.

Actually, when I went to school in the 70’s and 80’s, it was tough to be white and carry books. No matter who you are, if you try to excel in life, the majority will try to bring you down. In school it’s in your face. Later in life, it’s generally behind your back.

This is not a race thing, it’s a “crabs in a pot” thing, but to some people, everything is about race.

When the Hispanic and Asian populations become the majority and are successful, educated and wealthy, will the so called ‘black leaders’ decry their peers to stop acting Hispanic or Asian?......

It’s part of the black American culture not “American” culture. It is also cultural to have children out of wedlock (last stats I saw were 73% in the black community - Source: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/unmarry.htm). that is so out of step with the rest of America that is has to be cultural to blacks. If it isn’t cultural then what is it?

Trouble with your hometown saying bad thing because you are going to college.It happen in small towns in Mi in the early 1950-——I can remember many people saying “YOU THINK YOUR SO SMART BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO COLLEGE. May be normal reaction to change in relationship between you and your town.

This from the woman who instructed a black audience to not go work in offices of corporate America.

This outcry is heard from people around the world (sometimes among the lower classes, regardless of skin color). Basically the loafers don’t want to see their “buddies” grow up, leave the neighborhood, and get a good life going.

Anyone who’d hold you back is not your friend.
