Those pesky stereotypes - the problem is, there's usually an underlying truth in them.

Really? Gee, I did not know that. < /sarcasm>

That's not the problem. The problem is when stereotypes, which contain a "grain" of truth, are inflated with falsifications then used to smear a whole group.

Since you seem to know it all, how come you didn't complete the definition of the term? Your flippant response to my post calls into question your true motives. It may be wrong, but, it definitely begs the question.

It's so much easier for people to think in stereotypical terms than it is to judge people individually, which is what I thought conservatism was all about.

So, which is it, glock? If you see me, do you see a stereotypical black, or do you see an individual MAN?

The REAL problem, is that this prof, is using the basest of all steriotypes, for his course. The way the article presents it, this prof is excluding the vast black middle class, and the upper middle cass, and the upper class ( excluding atheltes and performers here ... I mean the black aristocracy ! ) ones. The CEO of Beatrice Foods, was better bred, more affluent, better educated, and better spoken, than the majority of whites, in this country ! He didn't have any apparent baggage, from slavery. Neither do Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, and at least 100 other black men, whom I either know personally, or have read / listened to.

Those, who revel in " victimhood ", are the ones who need a class !
