also, an important caveat to the "front row/back row" theory: it is essentially only operative among whites.

this vitriolic divide does not exist between more-educated and less-educated black people. Sometimes we call each other bougie and ghetto...

but there is still a basic racial solidarity, for all but a far fringe of Clarence Thomas/Ben Carson-ites.

and some of us STILL tryna claim Ben Carson and lift him up as a Successful Black Man! STILL!

Race narrows cultural divide based on class/education and SHARPLY reduces class antagonism.

So once again, we have an analysis that is accurate for whites being somewhat overgeneralized (bc whites are centered).

Also remember whites have GENERATIONS of class divide and not intermarriage, AND have less downward class mobility (until recently?)

whereas I swear 99.99% of black people have either a cousin or an ex who is decidedly in a different socioeconomic class.
