The Treatment Of African And African American

I Use Non-fiction Work Written By Whites In My Research. It's Indispensable. That Wasn't The Problem. I Said That "the Wire" Was A Cliché! It's Like My Writing A Series About Jewish Life And Casting All Of The Characters As Inside Traders.

I Was On A Panel With Light Skinned Blacks And A Famous Gay Science Fiction Writer, Who Were Complaining About How Blacks Are Against Gays And Light Skinned Blacks And How Intolerant Blacks Are Of Different Groups. My Position Was That Blacks Were Among The Most Humanistic, Tolerant Groups In The Country And That Across The Street From My House In Oakland Was One Inhabited By White Gays.

I Walked Out On American Gangster: This Evil Piece Of Dreck. Defenders Of This Junk Say That These Movies Give Black Actors Jobs. So Did "birth Of A Nation."

As For [amiri] Baraka, He And I Have Disagreements. I Mean, He Becomes A Demagogue When There's An Audience. He's A Nice Guy In Private. I Mean I Like The Guy; He's A Terrific Writer. I've Published Two Of His Books. Baraka Is One Of These Fundamentalists Who Is Prone To Idol Worship.

David Simon Goes To The Jewish Weekly And Said He's Made All This Money, But He Can't Enjoy It Because Of Criticism By People Like Ishmael Reed.
