Check me out at Anti-Racist Parent
I'm a new guest contributor at Anti-Racist Parent, one of Carmen Van Kerckhove's trio of blogs. Check out my introductory post with a scary big picture of me.
In our society which is white -we are intruders they say- there has got to be something inherently horrible about having the sickness and weakness of that society described by a person which is victim of them; for if he, the victim, is capable of describing what they have believed nonexistent, then they, the members of the majority, must choose between living the truth, which can be pretty grim, and the lie, which isn't much better. But at least they will then have the choice. -John A. Williams, The Man Who Cried I Am.
Excerpt from the introduction to ONCE YOU GO BLACK CHOICE,DESIRE, AND THE BLACK AMERICAN INTELLECTUAL, ROBERT REID-PHARR.
Reads a taste gay but it might resonate with the girls you call guys.
