Or another way of looking at it,
In the over 100 years since emacipation, and 50 years since civil rights activism, the african american culture has spent it's capital. Time to get over it and deal with the having
equal footing in all respects. That includes getting cracked on, not getting special consideration for anything, and working on improving problems that do exist in African American culture and communities.
I've lived a good deal of my life in Miami, where anglo's are a minority (12%), so should I get special consideration in Florida schools for growing up a minority and being beaten up for being the stupid white kid?
No. And neither should any other race.

So from that perspective, Chappel is equaly as damaging to equality.
There is really only one community that still see's a difference, and that is the African American community. As long as they perpatrate racism amd closed-minded attitudes towards themselves and others, this nation will not be equal
