letting white ppl infiltrate spaces so you can prove that negroes are sophisticated too and they STILL think ur just a nigger smh
Joy Goddess page 171 She'd deliberately orchestrated this first large gathering since the publication of Nigger Heaven to be more international and more interracial. A house full of the Black "social register," as Geraldyn anointed the visiting Ohioans and the regular Harlem "gang" of sophisticated friends, was an intentional counterpoint to Van Vechten's raunchy gangsters and vulgar venues. In truth, they all would have been entirely content without the presence of Van Vechten and his inquisitive friends, but A'Lelia seized the chance to showcase the prominent professionals and talented performers that Nigger Heaven's critics insisted were more representative of Harlem than Van Vechten's pimps, petty thieves, and murderers. Joy Goddess page 172 Having been entertained by Vanderbilts and other white socialites since his recent arrival from London, Sitwell was a bit unsettled by a house full of Black Americans. "One of the most memorable parties I attended was a ball given by Madam Walker, the heiress," he later wrote in the Atlantic. But he entirely missed the point of the party and misread the dynamic when he described Van Vechten as "the white master of the colored revels." He was as condescending and tone-deaf as Konrad Bercovici had been in his 1924 account of A'Lelia and of Harlem, unable to acknowledge A'Lelia's guests as social equals. Despite her hospitality and best intentions, she'd failed at opening narrow minds like Sitwell's. Van Vechten's Nigger Heaven version of speakeasies had become so entrenched as the authentic version of Harlem, that A'Lelia's efforts to show another side were overshadowed for some of Van Vechten's friends. "Whether we like it or not," Courier columnist Floyd Calvin wrote, Van Vechten was more trusted to define Harlem than Harlem residents themselves.

i feel like this pretty much sums it up #blackbooksky
photo of page 88 with the following text digitally highlighted: The origins of buying power in "Cost-Of-Living" surveys by the Bureau of Labor Statistics were meant to ease potential social unrest by alerting workers what their wages were actually worth in the national economy and making business and government aware to manage those wages and the prices of available goods to assure labor could afford products brought to market. This is perhaps the most insidious aspect of the myth in its current form. Now Black buying power is used to compel Black working people that persistent, even worsening, inequality is correctable by redirecting a non-existent pool of wealth into an equally non-existent place within the national economy. photo of page 90 with the following text digitally highlighted: buying power is the ability of consumers to purchase what is made available to them by those who own their means of production. More importantly, as both stories demonstrate well, buying power is defined, by dollar value, the ability of corporations and marketers to extract whatever dollars exist for their own enrichment or advanced influence. ...there is a growing concern among the wealthiest that an insufficient buying power will threaten their position in society. This, maybe more than any other, is the most provocative evidence against any claim that buying power reflects a real racial, class, societal, balancing of power. Black buying power cannot mean or reflect the possibility Black people have to overturn existing inequality as it is literally a measurement of the ability of Black people to enrich a minuscule Black bourgeoisie en route to truly helping a far more prominent, and mostly White, power structure further enrich and protect itself.
