Today NPR was running a story about gun violence in Black communities. The host had two Black men as guests. All three of them were discussing ways impoverished Black people can better themselves (mostly education), but made the effort to avoid any and all mention that the Black community actively discourages everything one can do to better themselves, because they act 'too White.'

No, instead they blamed White people for:

-Keeping Black kids out of school

-Failing Black students

-Single-parents homes because

-All the Black men are in prison

-All the paying jobs require education

-Black people can't afford college, anyways

Etc. Etc. It got to the point I kept saying to the radio "Wow, that's offensive to Black culture.
