re: Besides more hardware, what makes a recruit from Louisiana go to a hated rival?

Why should black people separate theirselves into a separate group and have a voice? Why not just look at yourself as an LSU student? I cannot understand this obsession of race. I work with a guy that's black and we literally do the same job, the same pay, and we both have the same opportunities to get a raise. No one opresses him, but in his spare time I see him reading books like the New Jim Crow law or something like that. Why is this such a focal point? Blacks are always fighting for equality but it is them who are actually doing the separating from things that create equality. At what point will black Americans become happy in the world that they live in? Are they waiting for white people to just bow down and worship them? You get more attention than any other race in the United States and purposefully go against any and everything that can be considered white whether it's politics, culture, entertainment, clothing, grammar, and in some cases morals. It sounds to me like for the most part it's blacks who are not wanting to embrace anything that's considered white are going as far and deep as to change history itself into more black friendly accounts. There is a lot of deep rooted hate it seems and while white people are embracing black culture and admiring the good things black people bring to the table, black people are constantly fighting for more. There is even a group called The black Israelites who one day believe whites will be slaves of blacks and they hope for that! Tell me now how in the hell is that not racism!?
