Why is it that in order for a black man to be respected he must forfeit all traces of black culture and instead ape the manners of the white man, so that his white wage slave masters say "oh, what a good little negro, you deserve a promotion!"

It seems that a black can not become a respectable professional such as a doctor, a lawyer, a professor, or a politician without giving up any sign that he emerged from a black culture. To attain such a position a black man must thoroughly imitate the manners of the white man, to the point where he must sacrifice his entire identity.
