A deep dive into the effects of AFRICAN AMERICANS and other minorities adapting to American society via assimilating into the majority culture. Is it possible to maintain your BLACKNESS (culture) when you assimilate or is necessary to CODE SWITCH to maintain your BLACK CARD? Some other races and cultures encourage full assimilation into American culture, why is this mostly frowned upon in BLACK CULTURE?  Can assimilation be used as a strategy (i.e. "The Spook Who Sat By The Door")? What about self-identifying as AFRICAN and rejecting American culture? MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America's afraid to ask. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK
