The sections covered discussions of how people classified themselves-having to get more and more clear or creative to somehow protect white purity. And then, we discuss the absurd behavior of poor whites encouraging continued subjugation of blacks even though there lot is essentially the same. I’m not summarizing well here. Isabel is so much better spoken.

So far, it is a compelling dissection of the American caste system based on race. She draws some comparison with the well-known Indian caste system. The most shocking thing that I have learned so far is that white people used to keep and display parts of lynched black people AND they would take photos with lynching victims that were sent around like greeting cards. BLECH! Recently-in the 20th century.
