In general I would say that the problem is that studying, speaking with correct grammar and getting good grades results in success, success that often means leaving the ghetto and the low life's behind.  Some of this could be "caving to the man", some of it could be "them doing that makes me look bad" but to be perfectly honest I think I know the true source.

That source is that the success of those blacks who study, speak with proper grammar and get good grades in school prove that the left's victim narrative is really self-imposed.  That more than anything else aggravates those who are the first to start shouting about other blacks "acting white".

This is no different than the experience of being among the white trash or living in the barrio, and climbing out to some success, great or small.  Nothing unique here.  It still ignores the obvious question: is society better served by assisting this process or just letting it happen on its own.  We have data that shows how much greater the success rate is when society assists. You seem to indicate that this should be an individual effort.  If so, why?

You have data that proves Affirmative Action results in better outcomes?  Really?  Citation is definately needed.

As for the black experience, I would say that it is different between the barrios or the white trash.  Florida has a large latino population (and not just Cubans either--though they tend to make up an elite), we also have a large population of white trash.  But what is different between your typical barrio dweller or trailer park dweller that makes a success from himself from a black man from the ghetto?

The difference is that they are not actively sabotaged by their own race.

As for individual effort, there is only individual effort.  One either puts in the work or one does not.
