It's too bad that blacks don't consider themselves like everyone else: Americans, but they don't.

It's too bad many others don't consider blacks Americans, but they don't.
In your mind, you have a perfectly good theory, and you aren't going to let a few pesky facts mess it up.

The study was cited on a podcast, so I have forgotten the source, but the results were as follows.
Given the question "to what extent is your race a defining characteristic of who you are"
80% of black folks surveyed said 'very high' or 'high' while only 15% of whites said that.
Whites, Asians and every Latino group rated "American" as a larger part of their identity than did blacks.
It's difficult to decide whether this self-identity trend is a symptom or might be the actual 'disease'.
I have an anecdotal verification of this result. Teachers in TX have 5 days of training minimum each summer, and sometimes we actually gain some skills and insight. I had to choose 5 words to describe myself once in a workshop.
I chose, Devoted Father, American, Libertarian, Tireless Educator, and Logical. Except for 'father' I made no reference to race, sex, age, religion, or family ethnicity, and for the few white men in the room, many also said 'husband' or 'father' but not one said 'white' and not one said 'man'.
Moving to the several Hispanic men, again not one said 'man' but a couple said 'Mexican-American' Hispanic women were the same in these respects.
White women never said 'white' but frequently said 'woman' in some form like 'proud woman' of 'strong woman'. Hispanic women also said these 'woman' phrases. Every mom seemed to say mom, of course.
The 5 or so black folks in the room ALL said "black (wo)man" or "proud black (wo)man" or "strong black (wo)man". None used the phrase 'African American'.
It was eye-opening for me to see some of the more educated and successful members of other races being so sub-group conscious and so little big-group affiliated.

We should sign up for the French Foreign Legion, there we will learn that the word RACIST is non-existent.
We will learn extremely fast on how to integrate and learn the language and help each other and stop the "racist" BS.
