I think that the feeling of not wanting to be lumped in with the underclass, and a desire to distance oneself from the perspective that black=criminal has a lot to do with that.

I knew you'd find your way to this topic.
It's a good commentary by Professor Boud.
And I think you're spot-on about some of the distancing and individual thought development that we're seeing in terms of younger, professional AfAms who are generally under 45 years of age and know how to navigate the majority culture.
