Probably more obvious than we think. As a minority group, we forego a major advantage we could have by failing to think collectively.

This is why Black Conservatives haven't been very successful in the Black Community. Instead of embracing their culture and espousing their views from a Black Nationalist perspective, they want to be known as simply "American."

This is a shame, because there are a lot of Black Conservatives out there that have a lot to offer the Black community, but they're espousing their message from the wrong perspective.

If you're a minority, it's absolutely essential. Dr. Anderson clearly points out the advantages of acting as a group. IMO, there's so much self-hate that needs to be stamped out before group action is even possible. We still don't trust each other.
