James Baldwin Interview (1 of 3)

Intelligence,intellect,and eloquence

I love James baldwin's eloquence. He was so refined such an intellectual.

There are so few shows like this, where an artist, or intellectual can sit and just talk. Even the few on pbs, are very limited with time restraints...Plus most celebrities today, dont need talent or brains to become famous. Its sad.

it's like no one actually listened to one word this man just said. I don't care who he was banging...this man along with malcolm and martin called it perfectly...especially baldwin with what we see in our country right now.

who he was banging was just character assassination. this phenomenon among southern whites who get so shocked when a man wants to have a lot of sex, is just an insight into their own tedious sexless lives. To think a man's character is somehow threatened by how many times he ejaculates or with who is the most childish and salacious political criticism from Baldwin to Clinton.

But actually I was quoting a previous poster, who was using that quote as an attack against Baldwin. The quote (the way he or she used it) was code for 'homosexuality is wrong therefore Baldwin is sick.'. My point is that homosexuality is a universal occurence and has nothing to do with morals.
