A field pioneered by historian David Roediger builds on this thinker's argument that a certain status functions as a "psychological wage." This thinker described "a sort of seventh son, born with a veil" whose gift of "second-sight" causes them to have the "sense of always looking at one's (*) self through the eyes of others." This author analyzed "sorrow songs" in a book that calls the "color-line" the "problem of the twentieth century," which the "talented tenth" may solve.
