The Talented Tenth
I can tell you from my years in the USMC, when the infantry was 1/3 black; the Talented Tenth don't understand the other 90%. The Talented Tenth have infinitely more in common with Caucasians than with the other 90%. The Talented Tenth are hated and reviled by the other 90%.
This sums up the current state of affairs rather succinctly:
(Caucasians) are exhausted by the social pathologies, the violence, the endless complaints, the blind racial solidarity, the bottomless pit of grievances, the excuses, and the reflexive animosity. The elites explain everything with "racism," and refuse to believe that white frustration could soon reach the boiling point.
And yet, some call the telling of truth - animus!?!?!
As it happens, I was in the USMC back in the 50s when only the "Talented Tenth" were permitted entry into the Corps, and they were some of the best Marines we had. For entry into the Corps, these black Marines were held to the same standards as whites, and some said they were held to a higher standard than were whites in order to keep their numbers down. Much later, in an effort to increase the number of blacks in the Corps, standards were lowered for black entry, and to no one's surprise, the quality of black Marines went down accordingly.
