I am still not sure of the point Mr. Graham is trying to make. I don't know if he's sure why he wrote the book in the first place. He certainly does a lot of name-dropping. There has always been, and will always be, class distinction based upon income, education, family history, physical features, etc. It happens in every race and culture, and I am not surprised that it happens in the African-American race. I believe that many of the organizations that Mr. Graham allude to in his book were initially formed as "support systems" for those few Blacks who became educated and successful. During the early years, these organizations were probably nothing more than social clubs. But over years, I believe that many of the organizations' members have re-identified their main purpose and developed a social conscience. I hope that those of us who have blessed to find any degree of success and happiness, must realize that of "much is given, much is expected".
