Rephrase it then. Do you think being black in this country is better than being white?

Even then I'm still trying it to my experience and knowledge as a white person. Can I keep my values in tact while being black? Because if so, sign me up. I could gain competitive employment positions based solely off my skin color. Also, because I'd be so outside the "norm" for black culture, I'd be championed and respected much more than I am as a normal, typical white guy. All things considered, I'd move to the suburbs, be the token black guy in successful white crowds, ignore the "Uncle Tom" comments from other black people, and profit off my blackness.

But that's the point isn't it? I don't live in a bubble where I blame everyone else for my lack of success. I don't particiapte in group think and buy into a theory of victimization, when clearly employment laws and violent crime statistics prove otherwise. I can clearly see the opportunity presented right in front if I were black if I only act according to the law, graduate high school and/or college, and learn a profession/trade. If I do those things as a black person, I'm actually valued above white people in society and the job market.
