BLACK SOCIETAL DISSONANCE
It may well be that natural selection has chosen a form of societal dissonance as the means of advancement for our beleaguered people. Certainly, its opposite, societal cohesion and austerity were legally, lethally, militarily crushed by raging white: mobs, police, military, press, politicians, in places like Wilmington, NC, Tulsa, OK, Atlanta, GA, Memphis, TN, and many other places, wherever black self-determination was boldly attempted after 1898. So, perhaps by indirection or by epic societal "dissonance" that admirable goal can be reached.
