The black American dilemma
The black American dilemma comes down to an either/or choice — either take on the awesome responsibilities of the citizen, or continually complain about institutional racism and the denied rights of the second-class citizen.
TL;DR
- Black Americans face a choice between taking on citizen responsibilities or complaining about institutional racism.
- The alternative is to emulate successful individuals and participate in civil society, rather than envy them.
- Playing the victim and using slogans like 'Black Lives Matter' is presented as another option.
- Both choices are described as self-fulfilling prophecies.
