OT: CNN's Black in America Part 2
What did you think about the Tuxedo Ball part? I had no idea Blacks had an wealth society 'group' like that. It's the same as the White Country Club crowd to me.
Guess I wouldn't know about it - I ain't weathly. Anyhoo - it was very interesting to me to see how the wealthy of us 'close ranks' so to speak. It's the same as in the majority society, really. Fair? Perhaps not - but I do understand why it's there.
What's your take on the show?

This portion of the segment "Black elite" rubbed me the wrong way don't ask me why it just did....
First of all where is the middle class??? I didn't see me represented in there at all
The woman(sorry forgot her name) who started the Tuxedo Ball to me seemed like she thought that anyone that is in her circle would better than us "regular black folks" because she did say she designed it for those who belonged. Anywho I was full of thoughts after that went off.
I did love the MLT program segment, such a great program!!
I think the Black Middle Class was represented...but are invisible, just like the White Middle Class. Never seen, but all of the Responsibility is placed on "us".
I don't have a problem with the Black Elite, what would it say if there was No Black Elite, and they definitely give back. Why is it that "we" seem to hate or be jealous of the Black that makes millions but have nothing to say about the white person that makees millions, billions. There is truth to the notion of crabs in a barrel, I think. It's ashame when Blacks who are in any way financially successful can not enjoy being around other Blacks for fear of harm and jealousy...I just look at Black athletes who basically have to cut off old relationships because some Blacks will bring them down...most of their giving back has to be done via Foundations, non-profits...but that's good too. Just so it gets back.

And with the way SOME 'lower' folk act - I don't blame them ONE bit for being exclusive. Prime example - we had an event here in H-town yesterday hosted by some rapper - it was a charity community thing - anyways, when the concert was shut down early due to overcrowding and a shooting popped off when they were packing up - 6 people were injured. Now WHY would the 'upper crust' want to be anywhere near that kind of mess?

Sad but true.
Even if you or I had Shaq, Kobe's, or Janet Jackson's money they still wouldn't open their arms and welcome us in. They frown on earning their money through entertainment.
