This is extremely true, and exactly why a more nuanced conversation is needed. They SHOULDN'T have been here. But they are. And historically, left to their own devices in a country that treats them as INDIVIDUAL human beings as opposed to the democratic method of basing it off skin color alone....they do pretty god damn well. The BASED black pedes in heavy blue strongholds have stones on them I couldn't dream of having. One of the biggest issues I noticed growing up in a fairly low income/high diversity area was the "uncle tom" or you "talk so white" trope. Seemingly just ribbing or light hazing from afar but it's pretty fucking devastating to someone's development at a certain age
