It's not white versus black any more, it's haves versus have-nots. Unless the black middle-classes unite to promote the interests of the black underclass, tension between them is inevitable. What we, the black middle class have to do, is think of a strategy to avert that.

  • -- Henry Louis Gates Jr. 小亨利·路易斯·盖茨

不再是白人对黑人,而是富人对穷人。除非黑人中产阶级团结起来促进黑人下层阶级的利益,否则他们之间的紧张关系是不可避免的。我们,黑人中产阶级所要做的,就是想出一个策略来避免这种情况。
