THE RAGE OF THE BLACK MIDDLE CLASS
- Share via
“The Rage of the Black Middle Class” (by Sam Fulwood III, Nov. 3) could easily have been my story. We’re close in age. I attended a private prep school, graduated from Harvard and elbowed my way into a middle-class income and lifestyle. I, too, have been frustrated by the never-ending struggle to overcome the insidious, dehumanizing effects of racism.
The main difference is that I’m not disillusioned. I accepted the fact that my parents’ struggle would be passed on to me, and that it will become my children’s struggle.
