I know this is a complicated issue... tied up with images in the mass media and all that horseshit. Nevertheless, it's fucking tragic that so many blacks are passionate about embracing a deplorable history of hardship, misfortune, and forced illiteracy as their "heritage". You don't see young Jewish teens running out and getting numbers tattooed on their arms - "Jus' keepin' it real Shlomo!" - so why the FUCK do so many blacks take perverse pride in a legacy of poverty and ignorance???



Hyde raises several very valid questions. Tritone ducks them. Why is that? Is it because it's easier to cry and bitch and moan that "the Man" kept us down, that "racism" keeps our kids from learning and that "That white bitch won't fuck a Brotha?" Or is it the kind of self-awareness that prevents Al Sharpton from explaining why he'll go to the funeral of a Black Crook shot by a white cop but not the funeral of a Black Cop shot by a white crook? These are serious questions. I don't expect answers.
