WHY DO WHITE PEOPLE NOT WANT BLACK PEOPLE TO BE MORALLY CONSCIOUS


Why do white people have such a problem with someone telling black people to go back to a themselves when they exercised a higher standard of morality and community responsibility than they re exercising today?

Seems that even white people should want black people to exercise better moral judgment than they do.  But maybe the racist white people are passinaltely afraid that if we go back to our higerh moral standards and cultivate our human excellences, we might produce a another Harlem Renaissance, another Little Africa (Black Wall Street--that was burned out of jealousy), another Medger Evers, Paul Robeson, Muhammad Ali or a Thrurgood Marshall....

I find it interesting (though very sad) that so many white people re upset by my saying that black people need to go back to a time of their higher moral excellence.
