I've never quite understood this complaint because it seems to be a charge only leveled at successful Black people
When White boys from the wrong side of the tracks make it big nobody ever demands that they put back into their communities.
And give that there are twice as many White people living in poverty as poor Blacks in this nation, I'd have to say they're as obligated (or not) as Black people to give something back.
Why the double standard?
I dont know but I totally agree with you. This whole post is based around Michelle Obama and she is black so at that time in 1985 I dont think she was to worried about white people giving back to their local community because it would not affect her community. I think Michelle's view is that she believes(doesnt mean its true) that black people arent doing enough for their old community once they become successful. This is just what my opinion is based on what I read. I'm white so I wouldnt be able to debate this topic because I dont know.
