There's a debate between James Baldwin and William F Buckley Jr from the 60s which shows the careful thinking of the oppressed as they articulate their terrible experience in the United States and the charismatic dismissal of it by the upper white class.

I'll read the essay you mentioned. You're right as was Baldwin. As Mikhail Bakunin said--I am not free until everyone else, man and woman, are also free. Deuteronomy 10:17 states God shows no partiality and accepts no bribes. This is how we stand and are at our most healthy, creative, and productive. Thanks for reading, Joseph.
