I see in further reading, that you are yourself an African-American.
However, your statement is still racist. It just happens that you are of that very race you disparage.
It doesn't make sense to me, but there it is.
"It just happens that you are of that very race you disparage. It doesn't make sense to me."
When I first moved into a racially diverse area in the 1960's and got to know Black people, I heard the term "crabs in a box." This was from an educated and politically active black man who was very frustrated at the tendancy of his people to pull their fellows down in their effort to climb out of the box. This was in contrast to the Jews who would help financially and professionally their fellows rise in the world.
