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?

Beginning in the mid 80s there was a concerted media push of nigger music. Beastie boys, Aerosmith/RunDMC and a few other bands doing crossovers because straight up rap wasn't going to sell to suburban white kids. Couple this w poor whites growing up alongside niggers, and the nascent start of woke culture and you spawn wiggers. It wasn't called Woke at the time, but it was the germination of the same attitude of acceptance and equality.

Also all the TV programs that showed 'good' niggers to make Americans think 'they're just like us': Cosby Show, Diff'rent Strokes, Fresh Prince etc

I didn't even think of those. Definitely though. Cosby and Strokes were GIANT.
