What always cracked me up is that the books are published by Rodale Press.

In any case”Our Kind of People” by Lawrence Otis Graham is an interesting look into classism within the black community.

The people I knew in NJ were anomalies. Less than 1% of blacks are considered middle class or above, at least as of the writing of the book.
