This topic is a brilliant display of subjectivity and the state of Black America.
Various posters have commented on what is wrong or needs fixing in the Black community. Maybe we have to learn to respect each other , how to critque an argument without, insulting the perlson, or really listen and try to understand the perspective and the person.
I have been guilty of every one of those flaws. Which resulting in my apologising to both Mel and Troy. I also realise my elitist attiutude about thinking, which resulted in my recognising Pioneer's modus operandi.
There is a difference between perception and the reality of a person or situation. So my comments are more societal than individual. Also because making comments to any individual is pointless until they are open. Or willing to see another perspective.
We are both watching and engaging in the psychopathology of Black People.
