James Baldwin was fiercely smart. That was a key aspect of his greatness as a writer.

One of my favourite quotes…

No matter how many times I hear this excerpt, always gives me goosebumps 😮💨

The rage they feel when they have to be near a Black person they can not silence or fool. ✊🏾🤎🖤

The body language of the interviewer is a graphical representation of white supremacy. Puffing to intimidate a Black man, and nothing to do what he had to say as represented by the crossed arms and withdrawn posture.

I hate the background music they play on these clips the words are powerful enough it doesn’t need a dramatic backdrop….

The smugness on the interviewer's face....

We can put people in a building, and call it a church, but until we focus on needs, and transform our conscious, thinking, we shall continue to be racially divided. @AttorneyGriggs @TPstudios @tntdrama @BET @Daystar #ShiftTheCulture #Church @Iam360Wise @dawnporter @KenBurns

This country needs more James Baldwins speaking out about an idealism that doesn't really exist.

And they want Blly Porter to play him. No, I think not.
