(24,544 posts)gotten for being educated, well traveled and (relatively) affluent? Never mind that as the OP noted, 27% of black folks like in poverty which means that 73% do not. Never mind that traditionally, most folks on the Internet will be more affluent than others. Somehow we are ABNORMALITIES because we don't fit these people's pre-determined and ignorant as hell ideals of what a black person should be.
I bet one of the main complaints against us is that we're all Thrid Way!! Third Way!! and despite having black families, living in black areas, being involved in black organizations and causes that we just "don't understand" our own communities. And of course, these white folks -- especially the ones that crow about how they live in the most rural of areas -- know us better than we do.
So you already know the answer to your question. Right?
