Today is James Baldwin Birthday, Best Orator of the past 500 years.

I enjoyed the Amen Corner, my favorite play.

His life story is crazy, especially the time he spent in France. He and others had to leave the country to be respected professionally and personally. His crew of intelligentsia needs to be replicated....where are the Black Think Tanks of today?
 
Agreed!

As far as articulation, reasoning, and logic, is concerned, I rank him as the best to come out of theCivil Rights Era. Let’s not forget his essays as well. Malcom and Matin were the most impactful and led the way, but from a purely academic standpoint and someone who can light your ass on fire if you debate him, Baldwin was god level with his intellect.

I wish these new age gays would follow his lead and put Blackness before everything else.
 
Can anyone help put away the rumors that he endorsed pedelpohila. That militant dude Irraited Genie made these accsuations but yet has to show any real proof.
 
Great post...

I can't imagine what he would say about Kaep.

Amd these so called Black folk hating on him.
