    In an essay that would make up the bulk of his book “The Fire Next Time,” the author James Baldwin, who would have been ninety-four today, mines the relationship between religion and race in America.http://nyer.cm/K2RgU8x

        My favorite quote ever came from James Baldwin. No truer words were ever spoken: “I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.” #JamesBaldwin

        Hey. I know you mean this in the best sense but I learned so much from reading Michelle Alexander & how the idea of "color blindness" was actually popularized by folks who did not have good intentions. It's commonly used to support racism, even now.http://bostonreview.net/race-politics/justin-gomer-christopher-petrella-reagan-used-mlk-day-undermine-racial-justice …

        Necessary & 💯 article on white supremacist "colorblind" ideology. Thing is I, like so many 80s/Reagan era kids, was taught this was a high ideal when, in reality, it's a powerfully white supremacist one that drowns out the lived realities of Black folks. http://bostonreview.net/race-politics/justin-gomer-christopher-petrella-reagan-used-mlk-day-undermine-racial-justice …

        I remember distinctly the time nearly forty years ago during which I came to understand that I could never become a writer. I'd just ETS'd from Fort Bragg in 1979 and was driving purposelessly around the country. I drove around for nearly a year. It was then, during the month

        when I’d read these five books—Dillard’s “Pilgrim at Tinker Creek,” Derrida’s “Of Grammatology,” “The Collected Poems of Wallace Stevens,” and Baldwin’s “Notes of a Native Son” and “The Fire Next Time”—when I learned I knew nothing having anything to do
