I hate those extreme labels too. But we got far too many people with social power labeling people one of 2 categories. And it's been going on for the last few decades.
Most black folk are in the middle, but only one small portion eats. Like capitalism where the majority suffer and a few wealthy people have and control everything.
That's not even remotely close to an accurate description of Black people and it certainly hasn't been going on for "decades".
This is a NEW phenomenon brought on by the popularity of Hip Hop/Gangsta rap and the adoption of Style and Language from
the inner city not necessarily because black men in mass became thugs because that's all black women are attracted too.
Many "Black men" are eating, I'm a fukking proud nerd and I've never struggled with attracting black women, the problem with
certain types of "Black" people period is they don't like or want to be around black people and that shyt can be felt ALL the way across
the room.
I'm a nerd so I've had to listen to my black friends who only listen to metal, spends dozens of hours playing videogames and aspire to
be artists/game designers go on about how "Black people don't like me" or "I don't think any black woman/man would be interested in me"
or even worse they fetishize white people like their skin color makes them special.
Nine times out of 10 they're fukking projecting or dealing with some fukked up ugly view of what being "Black" entails.
