this pressure and judgement does not come from the white community. In fact most of the daily beat down doesn't come from the white community.
Whenever blacks have given whites serious competition in anything that really matters, whites made them regret it. That's probably how this downward-conformist, "tall-poppy" strategy got started. The hassle the smart black kid has to take early on from his peers won't hold a candle to what resentful whites will dish out later.
Perhaps, and just perhaps, if the focus was not always on the racism juggernaut and instead was placed back on one's own community, things might change.
Perhaps, and just perhaps, if blacks could really learn the secret to
ignoring whites in the way that recent immigrants from Africa and Asia do, then their horizons would widen.
