I appreciate Sarcany's description above - as I read it, I realized it could be read by some as leaving open to interpretation why a disinformation campaign like this might take hold in the Black community. That kind of ambiguity in our culture invites racist explanations, and I wanted to make one antiracist explanation explicit. Thanks, all.
Umm... Pretty sure that it's racist under your interpretation, too.
To clarify: It's not a problem of racism in the past. It's a problem of racism right now with roots in a history of racism. So yours was not really an anti-racist explanation, but was a good bit of historical context for the current problem.
