Why are many blacks today less socially aware than before?

There's no possible way to have race thrown in your face every single day of your life other than the fact that you're black and if you're thinking about it 24/7 every day of your life you're living wrong and need to learn to have fun.
Television is mostly white. Job market is mostly white. All stores are owned by whites. The list goes on. Racism is in my face every single day.

You think about race 24/7? It's been thrown in your face every day of your life for as long as you can remember?
Yes being a black man in american has racism being thrown in my face 24/7.

Some like me notice it and react. If you are black and never noticed it then I am concerned about your mental health.

Uh huh, because when i'm out with my friends, prepping for a test, hanging out with family, going to the beach, going to do a job, marathoning Breaking Bad and The Wire, reading manga, reading a fantasy book, going on a date, going down to the store to get a Snapple i'm literally having the entire racial history of blacks in America thrown in my face constantly is and if it is I always perceive it.
When did I say I never think about race? Did I say that race doesn't effect me every day when i'm not aware of it? Where did I say i've never noticed racial problems or i've never had negative race related things happen to me? There's a difference between that and saying "Oh my lord every single day of my life i've thought about race and it's constant;y thrown in my face and I can't escape it how can you not think about race all of the time?!"
If someone is thinking about race 24/7 they need to get a hobby.

Racial matters are that common.

Sound like you live in a white area in which your desensitized to racial matters but Im sure you still reap the benefits of those "who think about race 24/7"

I live in a majority Hispanic and Black area actually.
There is no way someone can think about or have race effect them every single day of their lives unless they're doing it to themselves.

I consider myself to be very racially aware.
I'm just of the opinion that if race is on your mind 24/7 for the entirety of your life you're obsessed and letting something get to you.

The one who is obsessed are those who throw their racial obsession onto black people.

Do you really think anybody in the black race wants these race issues to exist?

Our talk is just a reaction to their racial obsession.

In fact black people would benefit if other races were less racially obsessed. :sas2:
