Middle-Class Dream Eludes African American Families

This article makes one pause and take stock. Why is it that such a large portion of middle class black folk are NOT doing as well as their parents? It seems almost unAmerican. This article unfortunately doesn't answer that question. But some hypothoses may touch on affirmative action roll backs, the lack of cultural support of African Americans outside the church (ie. declining membership in NAACP), or the continued fragmentation of society in general (not just black society).

Certainly the article is worth looking at. Clearly a strategy for dealing with this is necessary and something beyond the 'rising tide raises all boats' theory.
