    It’s because older black people actually had to deal with real racism, while their younger counterparts merely use perceived racism to justify acting rude or obnoxious. Older black people have perspective on the situation, and realize that things are actually a lot better than they were in the ’40s or ’50s. Most young blacks have no idea what racism really is. Having store clerks assume you’re going to shoplift isn’t racism, it’s a conditioned response to the fact that most people who shoplift are young. Not black, white, male or female. Just young.
