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?

They're taught this. Culchah and whatnot. Even my daughter's high-end daycare/preschool has niggresses coming in telling their niglets "You're a strong black boy/girl!" They always include the "black" part. As a person who was raised not to see color this really conflicts with my moral values. Or at least it used to. Now that I know niggers are out to get Whitey, I'm less concerned with their racism, and instead embrace my own.
