A clip from, "Take this Hammer"...
KQED's mobile film unit follows author and activist James Baldwin in the spring of 1963, as he's driven around San Francisco to meet with members of the local African-American community.
Baldwin reflects on the racial inequality that African-Americans are forced to confront and at one point tries to lift the morale of a young man by expressing his conviction that: "There will be a Negro president of this country but it will not be the country that we are sitting in now."

  • One of the best explainations of why the word exist; it's because of fear, & ignorance. It says a lot about a person or "people" in this matter when u label or try 2 brand someone or something out of ignorance & fear. It's called "WEAKNESS" it's called being Ineffectual or impotent of differences you come across. I just can't beleive that a race of people would try 2 brand their weakness on another race. Well all I have 2 say about it is that "I GIVE IT ALL BACK TO YOU" u faulty minded fools.

  • @DefenceSpeech The word nigger was crafted by Caucasian people early on because of difference in skin color. To label a whole race this word would undoubtedly display the "WEAKNESS" living with-in Caucasians @ this time; unfortunately it still continues. Indians, Caucasians, Mexicans, Africans, Japanese, it doesn't matter what race u r because were all "HUMAN". We all need water 2 survive, we all bleed, we all need sleep. Skin is only an external organ; nothing more nothing less.

    His Monkey Ass is

  • "I give the problem back to you...You are the nigger not me".

    Says it all from the man who could condense in one sentence what lesser writers took a chapter or more to explain; and who could, with a sharp-edged turn of phrase, strike down giants as effortlessly as if he was snuffing them out from the tip of his ever present and elegant prop, a cigarrette.

  • Listen closely to what this brother is saying. Very insightful.

  • Just incredible
