“When people tell me they are surprised to hear that I don’t like all black people, I remind them of how little African-Americans were exposed — until recent decades — to positive images of themselves in media and elsewhere.”
When it comes down to it, a lot of the angst from American blacks comes from self-hatred.
To a degree perhaps. But like white people, they do not like every person with whom we share the same skin color. For it’s the content of the character that also plays a part in choosing whether to socialize with someone.
