The number of black households earning $100,000 or more nearly doubled from 220,400 in 1988 to 414,500 in 1998, Census Bureau figures show.
Thank you, Bill.
Furthermore, the MSM's peak interest in the lives of black Americans is entirely due to the rise of the Obamas. The
NYT looks at them and seeswhat affirmative action has produced, and wonders 'whether a black upper class exists.'
Such a stupid question for the
NYT to ask IMO. Advantageous blacks have been attending boarding schools and Ivies for years, entrenching themselveswith elite whites (who are historically quite amiable, simply because they're liberal) and their social networks necessary for professional success. BarackObama went to Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard Law; Michelle went to Princeton and Harvard Law--it's no wonder why they live where they live today.
Just goes to show you the power of top education and proper networking. The blacks inhabiting those upper-crust zip codes in NY and summering (blackssummering!) in Martha's Vineyard are enough proof that a black upper class exists.
