When I went to basic training, I met black people for the first time. Overall, I felt neutral about them, and a few I was actually pretty fond of. However, one thing I noticed, was that race and their blackness seemed to be forever on their minds. Whether the comments were negative (white people are ugly) or positive (we all bleed red), it seemed like race always had to be brought up.
I see that is still the same today. On Twitter, there are a number of black conservatives (whom liberals would consider Uncle Tom's) seem to make a daily post like "I love my white brothers" which never fails to get 10,000 likes from white followers. If you think about the well known conservative black icons (Candace Owens, Larry Elder), blackness is always always the common topic. Every topic is black black black black black black black black black.
And those are the conservatives! Now think about the content of black comedians, politicians, actors, athletes, etc. black, black, black, black black black.
Am I wrong here or has anyone else ever noticed this? If so, has it always been this way? Your thoughts?

Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, Arabians, they are all very proud of their heritage and race. It's not just blacks that are like that. It's the fact that European and European-Americans have a totally different look at their race. I traveled through a lot of Asia, and every country you go to, they are always bragging about how proud they are of their history, race, and their ancestor's accomplishments.
That was the thing that legit made me racist. The fact that there are all these other races saying theirs is the best and everyone else is inferior, yet a tiny portion of the world population is not allowed to feel that way. It's not that blacks are overly proud of what they are. It's that you're comparing them to how Whites react. You should be comparing them to how the world reacts to their race, and bringing attention to the fact that Europeans (and descendants) aren't afforded the same privilege.

It's blacks that are overcompensatiing, though, since they have very little to be proud of.

You can say that about lots of other races and countries too. Koreans won't shut the fuck up about their language and how they have their own characters. But a lot of their culture is heavily borrowed from Japan, which borrowed from China. But they all run around talking about how they created all this stuff and why they're the best because of it.
It's not just race or country though, the world is filled with losers with inflated egos. You're just so aware of niggers because they're so proud of things they shouldn't even be proud of. They are most definitely an extreme case.
