In the 60s and 70s being Black enough meant you were proud and supported the advancement of your people. In the 10s being Black enough means you sag your pants and call other Black people "b!tches and n!gg@s."
Malcolm X ain't Black enough in our new world.
Trini massive, out.

It's really messed up. If you get educated and sound educated you have "assimilated" and abandoned your people. Every person should be trying to integrate into society (no matter the color, heritage, culture, etc). If every person tried to be the best version of themselves and stopped worrying about who they perceive to be winning an imaginary game, they, themselves may be able to win (live a long happy and healthy life).

I think it is just a personality thing more then anything.

The game is real and I disagree that everybody should be trying to integrate into society because then society doesn't change. If women continued to integrate into society there is no feminism. If Black Americans try to integrate into society there are no civil rights. This is still a country that had you as 1/3 of a person in its constitution. There is assimilation and there is advancement. They are not necessarily the same thing. Getting an education is advancement. Getting an economic base is advancement. Leaving poverty behind is advancement. Leaving everyone else in your people behind is assimilation. That's not cool.
I'm not with this "new Black" thing that Black American celebrities have been going on about because it's not true. It sounds clever but it's really just old fashioned crossing over: "I've separated myself from the herd so I'm special and I don't have to give back to the minority group that I came from." That type of assimilation isn't advancement.
The act or process or an instance of integrating: incorporation as equals into society or an organization of individuals of different groups (as races)
