T R U T H How I would of loved the privilege of meeting this being of such deep of wisdom [ in life] Thanks to my daughter I am learning about him. And feel grateful for his existence- genius on this earth…

Wow ABC is some assholes..

This needs to be played in schools across America.

PEACE 🍁🍂 🌎✌🏾🐸

America has no new testament 😢

He was so ahead of his time. I commend Mr. Baldwin for his determination. He should be taught about in schools everywhere.❤

There is a bridge to far for black peoples.Character,and morality aside.

2:20 that gospel song hits so hard!! 🤩

"White people know they would not want to be black least of all in America" Why do you suppose that is?

Nothing has changed

Love this!

God bless your heart !❤️

*They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee* Psalm 83:3-5

I love him for who is was most of all a great mind. The sadness in his eyes makes me cry every times I see his picture. RIP Brother till we meet again🤚🏽🤚🏽🤚🏽

James probably asked them to shelve this segment because they did him dirty with that scarf shot 😂

James Balwin writing took me to places that i have never been. His writing was very descriptive he put you into the story he is telling.

Sounds just like her

This guy was awsome.And his words live on.Because it is truth, James Baldwin books should be in every black household. And many like him, We need to bring our children around the dinner table and expose our kids to the heroes . If you can waste your money on cigerettes and liquor you can afford to make a stop at your book store.because these are truly the kind of books you want ta add to your own personal library.❤😊

💜💥☄️🌌

This as powerful right now in 2024, as it was then.

Sounds just like the great late Mahalia Jackson! She was one of my favorites!❤

Baldwin is the best! 💪🏾🔥✌🏾🏆

“…. I know you historically “ clock it

James Baldwin is one of my great teachers. Along with Angela Davis, Stokely Carmichael, Nat Turner and Malcolm X. Back people who struggle against the lies of hate.

So true and they gaslight us consistently...you break your ass to make sure you are not black attribute nothing to black but tell black people they should be satisfied, happen even, because things are better than it used to be...lol...make it make sense. If that isn't the most supreme CLINICAL - not theoretical - narcissism, I don't know what is.

It occurred to me watching this, how sympathetic the interviewer was, that the look in her eyes when she looks at him - she sees him as any other human being and not as a black man. I’m not sure why, but I somehow feel that that look, that regard, would be much rarer today …. It seems like a much more cynical, much harsher world today, even given the atrocious, deadly racism of the Deep South in his day. There is something today about the rhetoric of the parties and the governments that I find frightening - the conscious, cynical promotion of hate and racism even while pretending otherwise.

I am obsessed with this song! What a talented guy

As a white person, it is criminal it took me 35 years to learn about this amazing man. American society is afraid of the truth they make men like this hard to find. I learn more about America from Black experiences than white fantasies.

that man looked JUST like his mama lol

It's sad, but it's 2024, and it's not any better for black ppl and ppl of color

I Love 💕 him !!!!!!!!!!!

James Baldwin should be taught in EVERY school. He spoke the truth always and so eloquently. I admire him very much.

God did NOT make a superior race; he made ONE race. White people are a MUTATION that ONE race.

Wasn’t he from another country? Just asking. 😂

This man was too powerful for that generation but is needed for this one!❤

Thank you Dr Glaude.

I took an African American literature course my freshman year of college. We read two of Baldwin's books in that course. Fifty years later not much has changed in this country. For me though, my level of understanding has changed tremendously.

Living with the nightmare

If homosexuality is a secret. You shouldn’t be doing it. The truth will set you FREE. Rest in Heaven Mr. James Baldwin.🙏💎☮️♥️💐⭐️👏

Now it's even worse!

He got it with me!!!

Now thats how we grew up that's old soul ancestors from the heart. ❤

HATE IS DEMONIC & EVIL * DARKNESS PREVAILS WHERE HEARTS KNOW NO LOVE *

Now this is REAL gospel music!

He spoke not his truth, but the truth of a nation that still refuses to acknowledge its crimes against humanity.

dude was and is spot on at the most basic human level of daily surviving a sadistically and merciless driven system of top to bottom power. the exact opposite of anything democratic. so to mercilessness and sadism, falsehood joins

Me in 2024 it blessed my soul❤

Focus: Status Quo! Private, public and social Americans who you established as DEI that is predominantly white! Neither is it called political but “the free world”! Therefore, 46 Male Presidents enjoyed the election, but not one woman! Thus, the following listed things is the process of electing any President! A. The blue wave a predominately white work force that endorsed Candidates they endorsed (not a Republican nor a democrat), “the blue wave consist of the US unions, steel workers, miners, farmers, military, and public faculty jobs, as well as corporate and industrial blue and white collar workers! Now, the blue wave, the electorate, and the popular vote that is achieved by a candidate is called a landslide! Obama did this twice, Historical Pivot! So this same process endorse led KH, so what happened? I smell a skunk here?🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️

Can you provide some background on why it was buried and by who?

Everytime a real person with real thoughts rears their head on mainstream idiot media, they get sidelined. Intelect, decency, and truth not welcome in materialistic dumb down divide and conquer society. Not, a good culture of beauty.
