That is some sweet social commentary. I will suggest that
both Himes and Spillane have social commentary but Himes'is
just a wee bit more subtle.
************ Choosing to interpret the rantings of the
protagonist as the social subtext is a straw man argument. If
you so desired, you could find plenty of similar rantings in
Himes's work. And if I wanted to play that game, I could
derive plenty of nasty social commentaries from Himes that
you probably wouldn't feel comfortable with.
