Here is the real racism and they don’t even realize it as such.

Just as paying attention and getting good grades in school is “acting white”, so eating wisely is also “acting white”.

Because they cannot bring themselves to admit that both eating well and education are really just “acting smart”.

So many Africans want a Western education. Isn't that way immigrants come here -- for more opportunities?

A lot of the hostility seems to come from distorted thinking. I used to have a negative view of materialism, maybe because of growing up in a dysfunctional home. I went through the "spiritual rebel" in my younger days. Now I realize that, in moderation, there is no conflict, only normality.

Because first significant population of the African American Community either of those things are nearly impossible to accomplish. Therefore they vilify in order to not have to take responsibility for their poor choices or their lack of intelligence
