The "history" Blacks choose to celebrate speaks volumes about the culture they believe they own. Is it the enlightened, progressive successes of champions like Justice Thomas, Ward Connerly, Thomas Sowell, etc., or is it the Me Too moneygrabbers and scab-pickers like Rev Jesse and Rev Al?
Some Blacks have overcome the harshest obstacles to make phenomenal successes of themselves. Do Blacks celebrate those people or the pretensions of the mediocre?

Couldn't this be said of all of us, black or white? Everyone has the temptation to subvert to their baser instincts. The problem with current black culture is that they're literally having their baser instincts shoved down their throats (or held up as virtues) *at the interest of the Dems* who would like to continue to keep the "us-vs-them" mindset very much alive so they don't have to worry about their black vote (they're *just* starting to get real nervous about the hispanic vote :p). Blaming other people for your personal problems is ALWAYS the easy way out. Not every person, black or white, takes the route. I applaud the few blacks who have the strength to break out of the vicious circle and become free-thinkers; Jackson et al practice neo-slavery -- *thought*-slavery. A reprehensible and disgusting practice.
