A great collection of essays that demonstrate the trials and tribulations of the middle, upper-middle, and upper-class blacks. Whether or not you agree totally with his assessments and perspectives, you have to admit he has the exposure level needed to make accurate assessments of this subject matter. I also respect his honest, heart-on-sleeve style. Most people are not brave enough to bare their imperfections to the world for scrutiny, and, often times, courage breeds envy.
