Lots of people had ask the same question Grace just said! It may be hard to believe, but Grace was like a Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hide. Most people see her only in control setting doing a speaking engagement. The real Grace run people always from groups, she undermine and manipulating people in back room, . She work for years to undermine what our organizing was started for, the need for Black leadership in American. What Jimmy wrote and we believed in! She anti Black people who believe in loving their African Heritages and Cultural denied by racist in America. To her being a Nationalist was equivalent to being Nazism. Why, because you believe in your people, your Cultural! She loving being Chinese. When people ask her to speak at meeting of so call Nationalist, she would always said no! When I was elected to head our Political Education committed, Grace came over to me and said I know more than you! I ask myself why would she say that? I was still learning from her and Jimmy etc. I learned knowing more dont make you a better human being! It doesnt necessary improve your Leadership ability, your Organizing ability, or ability to analogize the world and the struggles around you. When one of our members quit there job to work full time for us as our elected leaders, Grace criticize him from day one, he could never do anything right. A member was teaching at a University was told by Grace you dont need a PH.D. Why not, she teaching on a University level. Then when she did her dissertation on history of NOAR i.e., our first book on NOAR. Grace when to work to undermine it, stopping us from using it for internal studies saying it was to academia. If Grace would have been white, we would have called her a racist! She once manipulate me by telling me the women I was dating was slowing my development. Before I knew it we stop see each other. As I develop I could see how she manipulated everyone around her to get what she wanted. She dont care about democracy, she work out side the collective discuss to make people (who honor her) agree with her direction. She once told me not to go to China when everybody was going, saying I didnt have enough study under my belt. When they came back talking about their trip, I found myself giving them political leadership about it, and knowing more about China history then they did. I look at Grace and said, Grace they dont know anything about China, or the Chineses Revolution. Years later I realize she was so selfish she dont want me to go to China before she did! She was so arrogant she wouldnt go to China, because she couldnt speak Chinese. In her book she talks about me writing the introduction to The Awesome Responsibilities of Revolutionary Leadership. That became her albatross! I think she believed I would fail, but I dont. I was naïve and I dont sign it, believing that was best. Grace could have gave use leadership saying you must sign it. She signs everything she writes. People reading the pamphlet would talked about how powerful her interdiction was, and how they really like it. Her albatross! So, she uses that to be malicious about me. Why, I never did anything against her. That not leadership, thats being childish and insecure.
