>I'm black. So, I think I can speak a bit about the issue. What I notice is that a lot of black kids are/were afraid as being classified as being geeks/white. So, we basically lost them as kids. Way before anything about bro culture comes in.
As a white guy who went to predominantly black schools I have to concur that the treatment these kids received was brutal. Any kid "speaking white" or having alternative interests was essentially alienated from his/her peers.
