I predict this thread will get at least 275 replies, about 8 frogposts, 6 infographics, 42 referrals to reddit, 20 'SJW/cuck' posts, and three or four informative comments (this one obviously not one of them).

It's devoid of any real historical understanding and filled with platitudes, propelled to be a bestseller because of its mass appeal. Interesting yet useless. If you actually want to learn about class in America there are far better books written by more respected authors.
