Hmmm, i think i disagree with John here. I think there are distinct aspects of black culture, that are different to white culture, and there isn't anything wrong with that.
The bit about black boys doing badly in school because they are worried about acting white is rubbish, and may even be slightly racist in itself, implying that all white boys do well at school, and black boys can't.
Again, if people start to see the term 'choc ice' as derogatory, then fine, don't use it. But i don't think it's imflamatory on it's own.
I'm not very good at expressing my opinion, so i'm sorry if i'm coming across as offensive.
Anyway, this is in the wrong topic probably, i'll shut up now.
