I can count on my fingers and toes the number of blacks enmeshed in "black" culture that I respect. Let me tell a related tale...
My step-father is a minister/counsellor. He had a woman come to him complaining that her husband waits until the last second to tell her when he's going out of town on business. Dad asked her what she does when he tells her that he's going out of town on business, and she said "I give him hell because I don't like him going out of town."
This lady was unaware of the correlation between her "giving him hell" and him waiting until the last second to "get hell." Her issue was a result of her own actions.
I wish I knew how to break this vicious cycle that exists in America.

I am not sure what you mean by being enmeshed in "black" culture. I am proud of my heritage and history, love black music, people, athletes, soul food,black literature and poetry ....I consider myself a lover of black culture. That being said I vote Republican, 2nd ammendment rights, I'm pro-life, against same-sex-marriage. Faithfully married, military wife, teach Sunday school. I'm as conservative as I can be being black. There are probably tons of black folk that you could respect if you got to know them better. We are just like you.
