| Eager to bridge the gap between the intelligentsia and the masses, thereby democratizing black critical discourse, these plugged-in, progressive-minded Buppies, B-Boys, Baps, and Bohos are seen as avatars of change. Residentially segregated buppies seem well-equipped to prepare their children for the same experience, providing them with the skills to operate in the mainstream economy while feeling secure in, and even celebrating, a cultural detachment from it. No more yuppies, no more buppies, no more X generation; that's all dead and gone. |
