The defeatist feedback loop of modern black culture prevents outside inputs of rationality. If a viewpoint is "white," the proponent is rejected no matter their pdevious credentials. And the people who are respected enough to make a difference won't go against the prevailing cultural norm of urban "blackness." Too much to lose. Cornel West isn't going to come out and say, "Well, it looks like we were a little hasty here. This shooting actually looks legitimate."

To be fair, this isn't just a "black thing." It's a tribal thing. We all do this. Mississippi State fans did it a few weeks ago with Dillon whatever his name is. Even if you know your opponents are right, you can't admit it. Protect the tribe


Really good insights, but particularly the bolded part.
