Well now I have to go back and tell my students that a preacher is only as great as his or her congregation...that Tom Brady ain't shit without the fat dudes in front of him...I have to tell them one rich Black woman doesn't mean that they too can be rich and famous...
My wife and I started a business with the help of a white man who encouraged us to take advantage of equal opportunity set aside laws...he also told us that there were a few Black people living in his area but it would never be more than a few...that's all the political and social system would allow.
I think that I need to do more to empower young people by helping them to recognize their particular their collective strengths and not just the honor roll kids.
Great piece--I wish Claude McKay were better known, such a fascinating figure and writer! I read Amiable with Big Teeth recently and it was amazing.
