Your analysis is totally bogus. You are scapegoating a whole race of people to fit YOUR preconceived dogma. I am not denying that racism exist, only the notion that racism is the all consuming driving force behind the ills of the black community. I also believe that black Americans think, and talk, about white people too much. Why can't blacks address problems within the black community without putting the responsibilities for solving those problems on the great white father. Also, if you are going to let racist whites define you, you have already lost. I lose NO sleep thinking about racist whites. Constantly railing about white supremacy is a show of weakness. It makes the benevolence of whites the mode of empowerment. It fosters a dependency on whites; and, a sort of white paternalism towards blacks. The white supremacy theory is a self-perpetuating exercise in learned helplessness manifested in a crippling black defeatist attitude that pervades the psyche of black people. Now, I respect the fact that you believe differently, I just happen to disagree. I think good educations, technical skills, a rebirth of traditional families, and middle class values, would go a hell of a lot further than this quixotic preoccupation with white supremacy.
