Some of things that are important in white society are not so important in black society. Same goes vice versa. Who's right? you are, i am, they are, everyone is. Only you can decide how to live your life and what is important to you. As soon as someone starts telling you how you must think... that's when its time to pack up your shizz and hit the road.
On a side note, and perhaps something that helps us to understand where black society comes from.... have a look at the movie "the butler"
Great movie, and does a reasonably good job of explaining a black persons life. I didn't particulary care for the way the movie became political at the very end.. but the rest of it was good film.

I certainly agree Ace. There are many black people that have reason to be very proud of themselves. What gets me is people that are proud of how they are born. We have no control over that. Thats like being proud that you exist on planet earth. How can anyone justify being proud because they were born a certain color? Being honest, hard working, caring, etc are things to be proud of no matter your color. Being born a certain way is nothing to be pridefull over. How you live your life is how you should judge your pride.
