If people in general are self-absorbed, then African Americans are self-absorbed since they are people too. Whatever, this is getting nowhere, and the fact is all of you are so uptight cause we're talking about African Americans. If I said Thai people were self-absorbed noone would think twice about it or give a fuck. You're all sensitive cause it's African Americans, you probably grew up that way, being fearful of expressing opinions, like talking about African Americans is a big no-no in the US. I don't make distinctions like that and see everyone as equal and make observations based on that, if you wanna call me racist go ahead, I'm not gonna argue about this anymore.
