What's wrong with conservative, prosperous or erudite Blacks?Nothing.
There is nothing wrong with leaving the hood behind.
When one leaves the hood he usually acquires knowledge and skills which the hood does not possess.
When one leaves the hood one grows in ways which those from the hood may deem worthless.
There is nothing wrong with learning new things.
What if the boys from Louisiana had learned to swim?
I know, I know... "Blacks don't swim".
Everyone can make jokes all they'd like but how are those jokes helping the family who died trying to save each other?
What if one brother learned to swim?
What if that brother taught his entire family to swim?
How many people would have then been saved?
This is why I have no problem with people leaving the hood or being educated - my only problem is with those who've acquired a new skill and fail to ever give back.
