They're trying to do so but they hobble any sort of true independence by their own strongly held tenants.
"we wuz kangs" immediately calls forth the question of who the "current kings" are. They would probably say whites. Everything about their conception of themselves is in relation to whites. Self-imposed subservience because they focus so much on what the evil white men did and "continues" to do that they don't look at what they themselves are doing to lift themselves up.
