The problem is that “acting white” - which is a combination of behaviors that lead to success rather than a life of crime in the ghetto - are vilified by leftists as bad.Black behavior in influenced by instincts that had survival value in the African jungle. If Barack Obama had a son, he might have sometimes wanted to behave like an African savage when he was a teenager. I am confident he would have restrained himself by acting white.
Among the traits the ultra-liberal Board of the African-American Museum (Smithsonian) put down as “white traits” were: working hard, speaking English properly, following schedules, respecting authority, being on time, being polite, and some others I can’t recall.
If I still had my business, I suppose I would hire a black if I were looking for a lazy, tardy, insubordinate, and rude employee.
