I struggle with this a bit. If granny sees people on MTV glorifying rape and murder, and then sees someone walking down the street who is intentionally mimicking the exact same behavior, it would only be reasonable for her to be a little reserved, no?

I struggle here, too. They may not have the same opportunities in good ol’ boy circles, but they absolutely have the same if not better opportunities in PC circles, which are only growing.

Agree. It is true that most blacks, due to the sad history we already know, won’t have as much generational wealth as whites, but their opportunities are certainly there. Just like opportunities are there for other ethnicities.
