We as a people = humans

We as a people = blacks

Humans are very simplistic in our thought processes unless challenged otherwise. Most people will never find out new things on their own. Most people are also threatened by new things that challenge what they've been always told to be true. It's always easily to go with the "conventional wisdom" and agree with everyone else. That's why people who challenge conventional wisdom and new knowledge, based on new and valid information, are met with hostility and often called troublemakers. This is a cultural phenomenon but I guess it can also be biological if it's rooted in the human brain waves or whatever.

It's important to note that not every person or thing that goes against the grain is doing so based on new and valid information. Also, life goes through cycles so there will always be something new to knock the other "new" thing off its pedastol. Every innovator is just like the last innovator.
