    I think that he loves black people, but hates the culture that it chose to adopt in America at present. That is not self-hating. That is being critical of a culture that was chosen in a very Stockholm syndrome sort of way. I think that he is trying to give black people agency to define a more responsible path forward. If you ever get a chance to watch the MLK comes out of a coma episode of The Boondocks, it speaks to this well. The black creators of The Boondocks must be conservatives or something.

      Ah, now you speak for him and the creators of The Boondocks. Is there anyone you don’t speak for? Weird how I’m not allowed to do it but you are. Again.

        You are really latching onto that. The point that I was trying to make earlier was that you don’t have the numbers to indicate the breakout of black people that agree versus disagree with the author’s sentiments. I don’t reasonably have that either. If a supermajority of black people like their broken ghetto culture, then I don’t believe that they have grounds to complain about their current conditions nor should they get any special treatment.

          Yeah, weird how I am latching on to your hypocrisy. I don’t care about your point when you won’t even acknowledge it.

            I give you permission to speak for all black people. Happy?

              Nope. That’s not admitting to your hypocrisy.

                Because I said that they ought to do something whereas your said that they all believe a certain thing. They are not the same.

                  Uh-huh. Except for when you said what they believe. Nice try.

                    I said “I think most black people want”. The keywords being “I think” not asserting it as fact.
