Bettah late than nevah
Right now I'm reading: Our Kind of People: Inside America's Black Upper Class and FUCK ALL I'M HOME.
I'm also finding out how being biracial denied me the "benefits" I was entitled to given my maternal family's "status". I almost hate being half black a little now. But it only validates what I posted before about bi/multi-racial people in the black community.
When I've finished openly weeping over this book I'll write as best a review as my limited literary skills will allow.
*Update* - I'm getting angrier and angrier the more I read. While I can get with the concepts intellectually, from an ideological standpoint I'm SEETHING.
