I heard an interview with him where they spoke of him being "openly gay." This brilliant, snarky, hilarious man responded, "I'm quite openly black as well." God! What a treasure!

This guy was way ahead of his time. Not even the black community was ready to accept him and they were dealing with unfair treatment of their own. He'd be a strong voice today as much as he was back then.

He was so bright and witty, and yet there was a sadness within him he could not get rid of. I think he died in his fifties, very young so, due to an illness or I would say, the agony of fighting so many years against all odds.

If only we had more people like James; willing to be the intermediate in the mist of darkness and conflicts within social justice system. His words open hearts, raises hope for a chance for possible solutions within in clear passionate discernment; He inspires progress vs indifference and ego centralism. "James" could bring light to any conflict. (If their was a roster for that job. I would t love to make that list!) shem

To those asking who the interviewer was here, it appears (according to "BBC Archive") to have been a Mr. Frank Delaney in 1984. It was not easy to find that info -- not nearly as easy as it was to find citations of this and other KZbin videos wording themselves in a variety of interesting, but not particularly scholarly, and sometimes flat out inaccurate ways. Well, that's just life today, now, isn't it.

Very cool. Morrison's strength is her use of nuance even when she's being overt. But I can see how her style would rub a lot of folks the wrong way. If you don't mind, please recommend someone I should read--it can be anyone of any genre. I just finished reading Margaret Cezaire-Thompson's True History of Paradise. Very good. But, yeah, shoot me a title if you get a second.

As someone who reads, may I suggest Toni Morrison, Ralph Ellison, and someone who you'll definitely love, Zora Neale Hurston? Like you, she's not too fond of black people and absolutely abhors the topic of black struggle. There are tons more, but as a reader, these should be under your belt.

im 25, born a decade prior to the gregorian millenium shift. i say the title of the video labels perfectly a man escaping the clutches of poverty, establishing a well wide enough distance Vertically over,from the ignorance that arises from the Black - White duality, and too claiming action in the form of responsibility of being the leading edge for what is today the movement of equal rights for the Gay Community.

No way. Perhaps not my place since I'm neither Black, male or even American, but he really was incredibly intelligent, an exquisite writer, a great civil rights activist and was fiercely critical of the nation of Islam and their financial corruption. Far too authentic a man to have 'sold out' on his principles, were he still here.
