5. I think a lot of black people just want acceptance from whites

People like Pharrell and Raven are around white people every day. No surprise that they adopt opinions seen as white-ish

What we are seeing is the beginning of black integration. Which can be good or bad depending on how much of their unique identity people would like them to maintain. It couldn't happpen before now because of segregation laws, which caused social and geographic segregation against even wealthier blacks that endured beyond the end of legal segregation.

The stratification system in our society is slowly re-ordering itself. It's so slow that many will say it's not happening, but I see it every day.
