think alot of the gold jewlery and stuff is to cover up feelings of inferority. Even within the black community, the cult of victimism or whatever, there's a feeling that dark skin is bad and lighter skin is good. The importance of status is overly exaggerated. Or is it? Is this a class problem or a racial problem? John H. McWhorter fails to point out it's both. 
 
It's easy for Bismark to come in and make comments about not understand working class black america. 
 
or white trash (because they'ree not all unlikeable, just the Confederate flag waving ones, but you wouldn't know about that. 
 
You're not Afican American, you're Ghanan. Of course, you're an outsider! The fact that you are in the United States means your parents are wealthy. 
 
Don't act like in Africa black people are ecessarily thriving. Africans have a sense of self-respect but black people are still killing each other over there routinely.  
 
As a black man, I don't care about religon of any sort. 
Jesus as white, not that it matters. God is perceived as being white too.  
As anyone in Italy if there could ever be a black Pope.  
 
I think a lack of hertiage, gives Africa American people nothing to have pride in so as we're seeing, they're making it up and unfortuately, secular black culture has no soul.
