It's hard to serve people you disdain, but that is what the Andersons attempt in their misguided quest to "buy Black" for an entire year. As representatives of the so-called talented tenth, I'm surprised they never really acknowledged their hatred of the follow peers as well--card carrying members of the Black Bourgeoisie--that they were surprised at the level of indifference and sabotage shown to their efforts. What did they think was going to happen? Seriously. American society has never show more been fond of those of us of African descent and has clearly shown its hatred of the poor so what gave them the idea that anything connected to impoverished Black uplift was going to be a walk in the park, especially when relying on other Black "elites" in Chicago of all places?

Two things were missing from this experiment that was greatly needed: 1) a mythological united Black community with generational wealth and oodles and boodles of disposable income and 2) Black owned businesses that all races frequent in locations less than 10 miles or 30 minutes from potential customers' homes.
