There are plenty of southern black people trying to buck the traditional stereotypes, only to have their efforts thrashed by things like this. Every time one of these people goes on TV and talks about a white conspiracy, while yelling at the host and the other guests for being "racist", they are hurting the causes they claim to promote.

Really? It looks like you need to adjust your view and narrow the brush that you are painting with.
If you think the efforts of PLENTY of Southern black people can be thrashed by such incidents, then you are sadly mistaken. Stereotypes are only reinforced when confused people like yourself allow them to be. The "black talking heads" that have spoken on this issue both locally and nationally have a diversity of opinions on this matter, as well as communication styles. I have actually seen more "white talking heads" on national television yelling and screaming about nonsensical, racialized speculation than I have "black talking heads."
Emotional people with "eccentric" communication styles and seemingly unfounded accusations come out the woodworks for situations such as this. The same applies to whites when whites get riled up on certain issues. The difference is that whites are less likely to feel they are being the targets of differential treatment, which automatically gives whites' emotions, opinions, and anger more credibility in AmeriKKKa's eyes.
BTW, your opinion is yet ANOTHER reason why this issue is unavoidably about race.
