There's probably something to it, though. It's not very often you come across a black man reading a book on the commute or generally just outside somewhere. Or go to one of those little shops with a lot of different magazines and papers. Completely white areas.
Blacks are in a world that is basically above their heads. Most stuff that's going on they aren't able to comprehend. I remain convinced this is the true meaning of their "keeping it real" - they are continually trying to bring things on a higher level down to their animal level where they have some meaning to them.
