"Black mainstream values"
Could someone tell me in very small words just exactly those values are???
In a world where there seems to be a great dividing line between successful blacks and the majority of blacks who are the mainstream of the criminal world, this needs to be parsed further for me, please.
Gangsta Rap? The talking points of the DNC? Maybe both?
"Black mainstream values"
Coming from an editor such as this, it's code for socialism, usually. Black friends and acquaintances of mine, however, are consistently opposed to illegal immigration, are deeply offended that gay activists are attempting to equate their efforts with the civil rights movement, and are beginning to question the overt hostility directed at their Christian religious beliefs.
As a result, I think that if this editor thinks he's all that well acquainted with the actual mainstream values of black Americans, he really needs to get out more, and actually speak with a few black people before making such a statement.
