Do Black people emphasize racism too much?

This is something that has been on my mind recently. The concept of whether or not blacks in America emphasize racism too much. Racism is a big part of our culture as African Americans. Don't get me wrong, it was prominent in our history. Everything from Slavery, to the civil rights movement to affirmative action. Racism has shaped public policy in regards to blacks in America. However, often times I think our fixation on racism may be holding us back from other things. I think when we talk about racism all the time we put ourselves in a position of thinking of ourselves as victims. When you think of yourself as a victim it makes you feel powerless to change your own situation. This to me is very detrimental. Because if African Americans want to get ahead in the 21st century, they are going to have to drastically change the way they deal with their situation. I'm a big follower of guys like "The Black Authority". I think if black people don't build an economy to compete in the 21st century we are doomed. Building an economy is something that is going to be hard work. It won't be easy at all. It will be a task that will force black people to use all of their creative and resourceful abilities and talents. I think this will be very hard to accomplish if black people are walking around thinking of themselves as victims all the time. How do you fortify yourself to compete if you already feel that those you are competing against have some sort of insurmountable advantage. I am a big fan of black entrepreneurs. I think they are some of our most brilliant people and we should support them. But one think I notice when I talk to them in person is the lack of a victim mentality. Believe you me, many black entrepreneurs have horror stories about how they were treated in corporate america or in previous jobs. Many of them chose to become entrepreneurs for those very reasons. I believe that in the future even more black people will have to go down this road. But I don't think it can happen without putting the victimhood aside. I will no doubt be speaking on this more in my youtube channel cityoftruth91. But for today I just wanted to leave you guys with this little tid bit, thank you for reading.
