Yes, I think he is "black", and he does seem to get it:

More important, where is the honest self-examination in the black community of how we tragically devalue our own lives? How can we build a culture of self-respect, honor and dignity when the most visible expression of black culture today is hip-hop and rap music? This malignant new form of black culture plays a dominant role in defining what it means to be an authentic young black male.

"No race can prosper till it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem." - Booker T. Washington

In Booker T's day, there was a huge push in negro culture to elevate higher education to the level of an idol, rejecting practical work and manual labor as oppressive leftovers from slave days. While education is now often rejected as "acting white", practical work is also rejected, by the same people, as "acting white". The great black heroes of the left are all "talkers", not "producers". What have Barack 0bama, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, etc actually made?

Meanwhile, Booker T. Washington (who called them out on it), George Washington Carver (who actually invented stuff), etc. are consigned (in the minds of the left) to the dustbin of history. They're not useful. Their example doesn't keep blacks uneducated, unskilled, and dependent on Big DemocRAT Massa.
