Is It Time to Assimilate?
Manage episode 325901330 series 3327872
Should full assimilation into American society be a greater priority for Black Americans than the overzealous pursuit of cultural acceptance?
Key Points:
- Are upper and middle-class Black Americans afraid of their own people, the large black underclass?
- Before we can achieve any major improvement in the social and educational status of Blacks, they must develop a frank process of self-examination to replace the current unwillingness to look objectively at destructive behavioral norms.
- Values count more than race in today’s economic picture
