Title: I am so NOT a BAP
Review: Having a)grown up on the West Coast and b)come from strictly working class parents, I **sniff** cannot claim BAP status. I've got a couple of BAP friends and one super BAP-py cousin, but that's it. I can't even claim Butterfly status. So since I'm so far removed from the world of Vineyard summers, cotillions, and Kate Spade (although I do buy MAC Chestnut lipliner religiously and repeatedly remind my children to remember their "home training"), it was hard for me to tell when this book was being tongue-in-cheek and when it was just plain out pretentious.I can't recommend this book, but I wouldn't tell anyone to avoid it, either. It has it's funny moments, but I just could not relate. And I don't think any self-respecting "GDI" will relate, either. I do appreciate, however, the fact that there's a book out there that doesn't illustrate all Black folks as middle-class, under-educated, shouting in church on Sundays, homemade baby-naming clowns.
Is the review positive or negative?
