Customer Reviews:
Excellent book on topics rarely spoke of.
By A Customer - January 17, 2002I first heard about this book in a law student magazine. The topic of race relations has always been an interest of mine. Being a multiracial person, I feel I have a very open-minded and unbiased view on the subject. I have felt racial hatred (slurs, etc) and I have also been favorably treated on some occasions due to my mostly white appearance. When I want on amazon and saw the controversy voiced about this book, I just had to find out for myself.First, I'd like to repudiate the review shown right below this one. The chapter "I never dated a white girl" is excellent. It's relevant, well informed, and non-racist. Pretty much the opposite of everything the previous reviewer stated. The author's observation of the many successful black men who chose to pursue white women exclusively, I suspect is even far more true today than it was in 1996 when this book was published. You see the attitude everywhere, black men who think that they are too good for black women. Some even bragging... read more
ELITIST BLUES
By Bonita L. Davis - July 10, 2005Lawrence Graham once again makes his readers confront and reflect upon the angst of being a member of the Black elite in a society that still rejects them. He challenges Black leaders, people and civil rights organizations to become more relevent in reaching out to a new generation in the post civil rights era. He also attacks the underlying myths of affirmitive action, reminds us that in white elitist America racism is alive and well and that Black people have their own set of prejudices.
Overall Member of the Club is a good selection of his articles that rightfully throws light on those areas that Blacks talk about behind closed doors. The fact of America being racially polarized is a given and it is odd that the author comes across as being naive to this fact.
As a member of the Black upper middle-class who has punched all of the "right" tickets the author does come across as a whiner. His incessant need to be accepted by white America come across... read more
Remarkable set of essays. . .
By Danniray99 "Danniray" - March 23, 2007I too found Graham's book insightful and quite succinct for the most part. Graham displays a remarkable ability to step out of the trappings of his (exceedingly) privileged life to see how the other half lives. In so doing he exposes the vicious and endemic racism that rages virtually unchecked among many wealthy (and otherwise) whites when they think they are out of earshot and cannot be held accountable. This is never more true than in his first and most famous essay, where he dons the persona of a humble busboy working at an exclusive,all-white country club. On the other side of the tracks, he makes a daring pilgrimage to Harlem, living for a time in a vermin- and crime-infested tenement. Miraculously adopting a Clark Kent-Superman change of clothing and affect, he pays a visit to an enclave of rich black Harlem residents who have the means to send their kids to private schools and have their shopping done elsewhere, virtually disconnected from the surrounding blight. Here he... read more
