The US social structure in the industrial & modern industrial periods produced dissimilar contexts for black middle class (Mc) lifestyles. During the industrial period, Mc blacks faced segregation, indignities, & violence. They responded by participating in organizations within the segregated context of the black community. Beginning in the late 1960s, class distinctions within the black population grew even more pronounced. As the black Mc became more accustomed to attaining status by living & working outside the black community, they began addressing their status claims to dominant groups. Mc blacks have found this problematic because many encounter rejection from whites as well as lower class blacks. 46 References. Modified AA

Since the 1960s, middle-class (Mc) blacks have experienced a greater degree of social mobility than in the past because of the plethora of white-collar occupations now available to them. It is suggested that the rise of blacks into the ranks of the Mc will function to slowly dissipate racial solidarity &/or social cohesion between themselves & lower-class blacks. For the Mc, the priorities of work & living a Mc lifestyle will, over time, take precedence over attachment & identification with issues involving race. To some degree this has already occurred; as a result, the black Mc's traditional leadership role in the black community has been altered. 50 References.
