If Africans from Africa are some of the most successful immigrants, as has been argued by Mr. Cohen’s article, it isn’t “racism” alone holding African Americans back. And if African Americans – of which I am one -don’t get this reality and start owning up to it, we aren’t ever going to really move forward. African-Americans are some of the MOST successful in this country AND yet, when you look at the very worst of society – we are quite disproportionately represented there. So what’s the deal? Do white folks just hate blacks from America? Are we being pushed out in favor of guilt-free blacks from other countries? Or, do we actually bear some responsibility for some of the crap we go through in this country?

And why the heck can’t it ever be said? Is it maybe because the so called white liberals like us at the bottom and think we can’t ever get on with life without them? Maybe Barack Obama is treating us with more respect by firmly expecting that we are indeed capable of helping ourselves – especially if government does its part?
