I seem to recall decades of hearing black comedians like Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy, Bernie Mac, Dave Chapelle, Patrice O'Neil, and shit, even way back to Richard Pryor, talking about the crabs-in-a-bucket mentality that has been plaguing America's black population forever. Learn to read? Acting white. Learn to do math? Acting white. Learn to speak like a normal person? Acting white. Please ignore all the Asians, Indians, Arabs, Hispanics, and actual Africans that stepped up to the plate no problem. I don't hear anyone accusing them of "acting white," it's just called education to them.
