Many Blacks, like Hill, will never believe that most Whites aren’t evil Black people haters; no matter what advantages Blacks are given simply because of the color of their skin. No affirmative action, no racial quotas will ever be enough and Whites needs to realize this fact. Hill operates from this vantage point.
I believe that even if African-American socioeconomic status was made subtantially better than that of whites through Affirmative Action and other measures, blacks would still resent it... and rightly so... because they would still realize at some level that they had arrived through the sufferance of white society.
The path to real independence for African-Americans does not lie on this course. Black America must stop defining itself in terms of White America if there is any progress to be made from here. The black professionals I know and respect seem to understand this.
