Yeah....there is something to be said for this. Barkley and Lemon advanced this meritless debate about black people devaluing education as "acting white", but I've never seen any public movement for this idea among blacks like I see this constant undercurrent of rancor and venom among gender lines in many conversations in the public forum.
Some black people seem to be in this constant state of competition to see how far they can throw the other gender under the bus, by letting the world know that its the other sides fault for our poor reputation in the broader society, and our perceived lack of collective growth as a category. The Lemon/Barkley debate was part and parcel to this psychology, but in reference to the "rich vs. poor" debate.
Its just a pool of insecurity that feeds into a larger body of bullshyt, which becomes a rushing rapids of collective neuroticism. Include white people too, who largely scapegoat blacks for societal ills in order to feel better about themselves and their own failings. America has a lot of wealth and success, but we are an obnoxious unbalanced mess when it comes to conversations about the other. Pathetic to listen to people talk shyt, because its so blatantly obvious they're projecting.
