Are Black Americans too concerned with what White Americans think of us?

I've noticed a growing gap between Blacks rising above the prejudice that other Blacks hold on too. Those who hold on to the white man won't let us advance are the targets of the Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons of the Black race in that they if able to keep them down profit from it by keeping them thinking that way. While those who go out and get educated and are willing to earn there way on there own merits are leaving them behind.
