I learned today about more Gate problems. Maybe I should say ongoing Gate problems? Anyway, I also learned some things about the CASTE issue.

Ms. Wilkerson apparently repackaged much of the book “Deep South: A Social Anthropoligic Study of Caste and Class“:

First published in 1941, Deep South is a landmark work of anthropology, documenting in startling and nuanced detail the everyday realities of American racism. Living undercover in Depression-era Mississippi—not revealing their scholarly project or even their association with one another—groundbreaking Black scholar Allison Davis and his White co-authors, Burleigh and Mary Gardner, delivered an unprecedented examination of how race shaped nearly every aspect of twentieth-century life in the United States. Their analysis notably revealed the importance of caste and class to Black and White worldviews, and they anatomized the many ways those views are constructed, solidified, and reinforced.

Here is Caste that was mentioned previously:

Recently, a reissued 1965 abridged version of the book was released with a foreword by Wilkerson. Deep South: A Social Anthropoligic Study of Caste and Class.

I highly suggest reading the earlier book if the subject interests you.
