The problem is, blacks can't distance themselves from White people because they rely on the constructs and prosperity of White society.     Segregation ending wasn't about equality, it was about benefiting at the expense of White society. The black side saw the White side was doing better for itself, and decided it wanted a piece of someone elses pie.         It's like if you have two houses next door to each other:       The White owned house is built well and taken care of, all from the blood and sweat of the White owner. It even has a fence and a pool.    The black owned house however, is just a shack on a piece of barren land without even grass.       So the black family peeks over the fence and see's what the White side built for themselves, and rather than emulating the White side and building something better for themselves, they just hop the fence into the White owners pool and kitchen, then kill the White owner and take what he has made for himself, while calling it black progress.    The worst part? This metaphor applies both figuratively and literally.
