The induced attitude that being educated is “white” and therefore undesirable along with the inculcated belief that white people owe them whatever they think they need keeps many otherwise bright black kids from ever developing their potential. Work is for slaves and they aren’t slaves any more. Free people don’t have to work. Money grows on trees and white people exist to do the work of pulling the money down from the trees and giving it to them.
You’re right; African blacks are shocked by their attitude towards opportunity in general and work in particular.
