Abstract: This analysis challenges central propositions of black neoconservatives. To them class position, and not race, is the determining factor in life chances of blacks and racial inequality can be explained almost completely by differentials between blacks and whites in class position, family structure, human capital endowment, and other factors. This study analyzes the contemporary structure of black classes, its changes over time, and the interplay between racial subordination and racial protest in determining class stratification. I conclude that class position is a function of racial inequality.
