Well, I learned from another board that I'm on that good ol' Lawrence Otis Graham has decided to create a Social Register of the "Talented Tenth."

I peeped the nomination form and it included categories for "summer residence, "lineage" and "cotillions." Just FYI. I am going to reserve comment.

OMG! Can you say self-esteem issues or what? Is this being done because some folks feel the need to validate their self-worth and status with a registry? CTFU???? *LOL* I swear some of us (AfAm) place important on some real dumb ish.

My 150 million dollar question is why? Seriously....? I was taught that those who "flaunt their money", so to speak was a sign of bad manners and just plain uncouth.

I guess my summers at grandma's wouldn't be elite enough *lol*
Another question asked if the college you attended was public or private...*lol* I guess public education is soooo urban to some folks.

WOW, this is pretty funny to me.
