racism created this "honorary" white but still black class to further reinforce white dominance and to shame the black consciousness into oblivion
the horrors of slavery made it extremely difficult to go against the grain of white dominance, going with the grain of racism was at first, a reprehensible matter of survival ... like an overflowing lake that's suddenly given a river to divert to
once we realize the conditions and tactics racism used to implement the racist agenda ... it'll be easier for us to abandon them
instead of blaming each other for them
my opinion
