I agree, I just cannot believe that he is serious! This takes "classism" to a entirely different level. I wonder if these families that are already "identified for possible inclusion" are in agreement with this, or is he just spouting off names on his 'wish-list'?

Does anyone know where his family's money came from? I did not, and probably will not, read the book. I am just wondering why he feels the need to be 'self-proclaimed' an expert on class and creditials of the black elite?
