RE: indga’s comment:
It’s sad that a black or minority person cannot succeed without fear of being hit with the “acting white” label. And sad that many black people buy into this mind-set.
Sadder still that the so-called black leadership perpetuate this racist attitude, with deleterious effects on the younger generation.
Many kids, not just minorities by the way, are thinking,”If I try to hard and do too well, I am ‘acting white’ and selling out. Not cool.”
For the sake of the kids, the Jesse and Al show needs to fold up the circus tent, and disappear along with the gangsta side-show freaks.
