    The woman is a moron.

    Why would anyone wanting to keep people out of the pool put up a sign that says "public pool"?

    BTW I would say that she is racist to boot.

    Those stem from a time when blacks were excluded from mainstream society. So they created their own. Now, they're not needed as they were before, but have stuck as a cultural thing. Just like most of the other ethnic groups retain some elements of their culture, and they are all smaller than the Anglo majority of society. They are not about exclusion (e.g. of a "minority" group), as the "reversed roles" you're thinking of once were.
    That, unfortunately, is why those would be suspect. But as "majority", they are in a sense, the "default".

    I don't know what exactly this person in the class aid, or where he was coming from (movement? etc), but I don't see that sentiment among most blacks. The biggest concern for most is economics and job security, like for most other people. Even the classic "revolutionary" groups have become largely irrelevant by today; occasionally leading their followers on some demonstration, but again, the biggest "revolution" today is OWS, which is about, again, economics, and not drawn along the lines of race.

    Then you have kids and violent rap who might say or do some anti-white stuff (or abuse the system and think they're "owed/entitled"), but that is just their own youthful rebellion, and illusion of being able to gain some power; not what the whole black community is trying to do.

    It's been suggested that this "getting what they deserve" is just people's own fears, being projected onto others. This connected with the larger political rhetoric where everyone (especially government) is trying to take something from them.
