Just because an African American doesn't share the popularly held social, political, or philosophical beliefs of the "majority", doesn't mean they are not for the advancement of important Black issues. To look at a person of color with divergent views from the majority with suspicion just pegs "us" as a narrow minded, uncritical, passive, blind group of followers, who share one group philosophy and are unwilling to think outside our philosophical comfort zones. "Our kind of people"... please. That's what's wrong with "us". You assume only one particular school of thought is appropriate for "your people"... the same people you probably shun on any given day you are not doing community service, and only lump yourself in the same group with when attacking one of "us" to make yourself (and those Blacks that operate from your philosophical vantage point) look like the honorary representatives of Black America Not!
