Isn't that attiude caused more by poor education? Black people can't hate themselves so much that they associate poor education with their subculture, no?

There are a lot of statements made by others that usually make the same claim. Even Thomas Sowell states that black culture embraces anti-intellectualism. That is, if you are well spoken and intelligent, you are 'acting too white'. I've read a few blogs from school teachers at almost all-black schools stating the same scary thing.
