Being black doesn't prevent one from acting as an agent of an institutionally racist organization.

Reflection is fine but is also an evasion of the root issues. There is a constant pull for do nothing or do as little as can be gotten away with "reforms" that are just the appeasement of a Scobey Doo band aid pasted over the wound.
