Black human beings have a lot to wrestle with, and those engaged in areas where "racism" charges and sensitivities get passed about have a lot to wrestle with as well.

The persistency of the problem -- it seems to me -- is because of the huge number of false precepts that have been gathered up over the centuries as justifications on both sides, or buzz=phrases, or automatic thoughts of some kind. The same collection of stupid assumptions rolling forward has of cours contributed to the same kind f difficulty for people of Asian heritage in a predominantly white culture, but I think perhaps somewhat less heavily freighted.

A few minutes rational analysis quickly demonstrates that any expression starting with "Black people are___" is going to end up as a false proposition because it is the nature of such generalizations to try and make big, wide, over-arching generalizations out of sets of people that they do not uniform;y apply to, The very expression "being a black person" is inherently a falsehood in most uses -- the physical differences are so minor, and the internal similarities so great, that the phrase is a wrong indication, a catewgory wrongly created and wrongly imposed with all kinds of BS connotations that have nothing to do with the person within. That's my opinion, not to make less of the social fabric stuff that has evolved around it, but just to point out that it is a problem of great duration and great persistence because the truth of it is hard to see well and clearly.

That's my two bits for whatever it is worth.
