are Boule the same as that insular black group from the Our Kind of People book written by Lawrence Graham? its on Amazon. even if you had money or your a rich popular entertainer like magic johnson they wouldnt invite him.

"Debutante cotillions. Million-dollar homes. Summers in Martha's Vineyard. Membership in the Links, Jack & Jill, Deltas, Boule, and AKAs. An obsession with the right schools, families, social clubs, and skin complexion. This is the world of the black upper class and the focus of the first book written about the black elite by a member of this hard-to-penetrate group.

Author and TV commentator Lawrence Otis Graham, one of the nation's most prominent spokesmen on race and class, spent six years interviewing the wealthiest black families in America. He includes historical photos of a people that made their first millions in the 1870s. Graham tells who's in and who's not in the group today with separate chapters on the elite in New York, Los Angeles, Washington, Chicago, Detroit, Memphis, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Nashville, and New Orleans. A new Introduction explains the controversy that the book elicited from both the black and white communities."

They gave us Marxism which has stifled our economic development. We only hear about Tulsa, Oklahoma because it was our Black Wall Street that was destroyed by racial violence. But it wasn’t our only Black Wall Street. It wasn’t even our most powerful. Pre integration we had several Black Wall Streets in different cities. They were all destroyed by the New Deal, Planned Parenthood and unions.

Cities like Durham, Richmond, Birmingham and Boley all had Black Wall Streets. We had our own industry, hospitals, schools, banks, theaters and insurance companies.

But the Boule wanted to be next to that white man. So they allowed themselves to be swindled by Woodrow Wilson and it’s been all down hill since then. It’s been no tangibles and nothing but symbolic “wins”..
