DNF... I have given up.... not what I thought it was going to be... My apologies, since this is a treatise directed solely at the American Black social fabric, which of course is extremely significant but I’d hoped for a broader inclusion of the “definition of caste� across many cultures and countries, and considering different ethnicities through time. Scoring some people highly for nebulous attributes and others negatively has caused agonies for generations; I’d thought I’d read a broader universal perspective here. So, this just isn’t my book...

I'm curious if this will be a dnf and why it missed the mark.

That makes sense. Thanks Deb for letting me know your thoughts.
I was going to read it. I'm not now. I'll sell it. Thanks.
Sorry this missed the mark for you DeB!

I am not able to finish either, completely agree. Not what I was expecting.
