This is why I gave up on being white years ago.IMO, the modern day "slavery" for blacks is the "hood rat" mentality. This mentality that speaking in street slang, fathering children from multiple women, and taking on characteristics of prison like lifestyles (in how they dress, talk, act etc.) is somehow "cool".
But, trying to become self sufficient via education, professional behavior and pursuing a legitimate career is viewed as "being white" and frowned upon. Which baffles me that this is viewed as "being white" when other races across the world do the exact same thing to better themselves. Yet it has been deemed a "white thing" by the black community and is made fun of by comedians like Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle etc.
Another thing that I think enslaves many blacks is the pressure to be loyal to their own race to the point of that loyalty hurting them on a personal and career level.
For instance whenever I'm asked to select "race" I choose "other" or "yes".
