As a black man I personally think that the vast majority of black people do in fact need to lighten up, and perhaps even more need to buckle down. We, as a group, are quick to call each other nigger this & nigger that and then try to justify it by saying that "It's not meant in a derogatory way", but as soon as a white person says it, no matter what the intention the guns are drawn & the race card is pulled. That's what most people define as "hypocritical" or what could be called a "double standard". Hell, you don't see white people running around calling each other Honkies or Crackers in their music videos. Black people like to complain about the glass ceiling but then drop out of college at a higher rate than whites. An entire generation of blacks is growing up thinking that they are owed retribution for something that didn't happen to them, you're supposed to learn from the past, not dwell on it. I guess that's just the Bill Cosby in me speaking though, but then again he's not a "real black man".
