Their success story is mine as much as their failures are mine. I am embarrassed when some black men are engaged in uncivil conduct because America sees that as my actions and uses those bad actions to introduce racist laws. America does not judge blacks individually but collectively. So it enrages me when an African American does not feel the gravity of his bad judgement and how that will be used against his ethnicity. I posted days ago the picture of Angela Davis, role model for Africans in America. One must give respect where it is due. My loyalty and respect are conditional.
Any decent African American would tell you that today's generation of blacks are nothing like their older generation. You have people who would insult you because you speak standard English without accent. They can learn from me that language spoken properly is a means to progress instead of viewing it as other and suffer for it.
