There is a noticeable difference in the background of good-pro-commerce blacks such as Condoleezza Rice, Clarence Thomas and Thomas Sowell and bad-anti-American blacks such as Michelle Obama, Barack Obama, Al Sharpton, Valerie Jarrett and Jeremiah Wright.
These people are different from each other based on their backgrounds. The people I call ‘good’ are all prominent and have expressed a love of America and American values, The people I call ‘bad’ have not; they have generally said negative things about America.
The good people have all come from families with parents who were sharecroppers in the south or lived in a sharecropper environment. They made their way from the bottom of society to the top by hard work and competence.
The bad people all come from urban areas where they were taught black victimhood. They have become outspoken anti-Americans. They grew up in a poisoned milieu.
I know my sample is small but the differences are very clear and they make sense.
If you grew up and your parents told you this country was the land of opportunity and you went from the bottom rung to the top you know it is true. If your parents or guardians or your friends and your teachers all told you you were the victim of white oppression then your move from middle class to prominence is seen as luck. You are not able to see your own good fortune as the result of being born in the United States.
