The Wire was dead on in the portrayal of the black students unwilling to learn
Could it be that these folks are reading the attitude of whitey better than whitey thinks? And are envious to have their own version?
The endemic sin of mankind is to be proud of himself. If whitey goes around trumpeting that he is, the black guy will get the idea that this is the way to go, too.
Such self pride is a false premise, and if that is where we stop, for the sake of an earthly society that coheres, we might as well just welcome back separate but equal, unless somehow we can all agree on some overarching identity (rednecks who come in many colors, maybe?). I know I am not doing this perfectly and surely some pride still lurks in dark corners of my life. But I’ve been making a serious effort to chase it out by glorifying God. God will forgive, but God won’t excuse. The cleansing has to continue till we go through heaven’s gates.
