Try to put yourself in his shoes. At that time, the US was like a horror film for black people. They were murdered and their killers were not punished. The judges were racist and black people were imprisoned for crimes they obviously did not commit. It is easy to say something like that if you have never seen the madness in the eyes of the people you are talking to, who also try to call these atrocities normal. This man fled to France so that he would not be murdered by the police, a boss or a country farmer. A person cannot stay calm with something like that. Talking to obviously crazy people is very exhausting and if you have a soul, you can only get upset. Anything else would be a lie. Raising your voice because you are upset is normal. A factual conversation with these monsters is obviously not possible. The blacks have thus achieved their freedom. Not with calm voices but with raised voices. As a symbol of their anger ........ Someone who has never had to experience something like this cannot understand something and shouldn't give any advice.

@@Yomens123 those are bashful words. I’d add that the white race are, alongside non white races, steered into upholding institutionalised racism and since they are not on the receiving end of race related problems in relation to larger institutions and collective psychology, they (or we) do not so easily see a problem in the first place. We tend to think that when people talk about us being racist, they think it is on an individual level, alternatively we think racism is just using skin colour related pejoratives. When of course it’s more than that. More people understand the colonial era’s financial legacy for white people, however many neglect the psychological residue inevitably attached to historically racist systems that have founded those of today, and it’s taken myself a great deal to realise my specific ignorance. Therefore it is up to everyone, whites included, to be ANTI racist, as the classic “I wanna close my eyes and continue to not say the ‘N word’” isn’t solving anything. I acknowledge the presence of white supremacy but to antagonise an entire race, although in this instant your bashful words are incomparable to lynching and colonial slavery, is a deterrent for white people to spot our ignorance and to redeem it thereafter. So to summarise: white people, at least the everyday white person does not try to hide their racism, they simply don’t see it. Or, since we are not inherently racist because of our skin, we fail to see why we need to do more than to be be non-racist, but ANTI racist.

I hope ," the racism couldn't silence" refers to racism in general and not just the other guy who seems to be unable to understand the things black people had and have to face in the US . Stupidity is not racism .

This man elevates language to art, and delivery to science. His choice of vocabulary, sourced from a barely constrained and seething anger, forces me as the listener to not just hear his words, but to see them. I hear what he is saying, and my mind not only registers the power of what his words mean, but my spirit feels his furor in the intonations of his voice. He succeeds at forcing me to subconsciously deploy all of my senses in order to fully register the fierce brutality and eloquent honesty of his argument. He orchestrates an unapologetic assault on the naive supposition of his opponent’s viewpoint, completely unscripted, because he need not search for words - they are born in his soul, not his mind. This man made me understand what it is I have often felt but been unable to express. He found the words for my condition, and for that I am in his debt.

Completely ignorant to the fact that this question has been answered over and over for decades. Just like it was answered here. Society dictates that it's always black and white, our institutions. Actual reality, not the fantasy you would most like to prescribe to. No one is choosing to "make it" about anything. These are clear cut observations and realities. So people either aren't listening or simply don't care because it doesn't affect them.

In many instances i'll butt heads with a social justice type, but even now there's still institutionalised racism, it's undeniable, and back then it was even more present. The professor is basically saying "Don't acknolwedge it" from the position of being someone for whom race doesn't create any issues, to someone who is speaking from the position of having grown up with all sorts of marginalisation. I agree that we talk about it overzealously today, and we try to find offense in everything, but when it does happen it's still real despite all the green pixie hair psychos making a mockery of the word "offensive".

Not sure what to tell you. White people marched with Martin Luther King Jr. on the Capitol Building in Washington D.C., but I'll go one further, Quakers and Methodists died to make black men free before this nation was even separated from Britain. Black men were free in the Northern states at the beginning of this nation. You can tell what this man thinks upon him bringing up Malcolm X. He believes America is wicked. The people say they don't know what the truth is, but they all know what to hate: America, Christians, Jews, Israel, the Holy Bible, and Christ Jesus.

Good lord, how can one be so articulate and eloquent. And what a treat to read his work!

I find this to be a great conversation because they are ideals and voices so eloquently defined that it is clear they are not just parroted. These two guys are talking past each other, and they are respectful enough to understand that in order to see where we can find solutions, you must listen to the foundational concerns of each party.

Speaking English well and exercising compassion/empathy appear to remain mutually exclusive for some people. I appreciated Baldwin's outlook. People don't want to "hear" or "see" anything that requires more stress or energy than their day already has. Cheers

You think 1968 were those days? In 1968, a black man was not considered equal to a white man due to the longstanding tradition of racial segregation and discrimination that had been institutionalized in the country. This included both de jure segregation, which was codified into law and enforced by the government, and de facto segregation, which arose from social and economic factors that created separation between black and white communities. There can be no discord when people are not considered to be equal.

Brilliant response, Baldwin. There really is nothing to add. That just about sums it up.

The problem with asking 'why does it have to be about race' is that regardless of a single person's good intent, this is a philosophical ideal, not a reality. If we stop talking about it it doesn't go away. Even 52 years after this video, it is still as Zack told us. "Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses". Until we destroy organized hatred, we cannot appeal to the better nature of lesser men.

Good point, but I think that the problem isnt on a systemic level, but rather it is innate. As long as there's but a tiny insignificant detail, that makes people look different from each other, there will always be racism, regardless of the myriad of organizations that preach this sort of hatred. Since it is but a single form that racism adopts

Race is a social construct. The more of an issue you make of race, the more race becomes an issue, undoubtedly true in today's climate. Ethnicity is the only difference between humans other than the minor physiological things we call race. It's literally a paradox, doing something proactive for a single minority makes it worse, doing nothing doesn't make it better.

That still doesn't explain why it's *exactly* race that triggers that hate. There are so many different things that people can be very different in, but the color of the skin is exactly the one that triggers hate? It seems too much like some random social construct to me, that is ironically kept alive by trying to solve the problem.

What a powerful use of words. Facts are the facts.

This is exactly the correct observation. People can say that they see truth in both men's points of view, as many of these comments do. However, this is like the story of the Hen and the Pig: whilst the Hen has only to give up her eggs to satisfy the demands of the World, the Pig must give her very flesh. It is easy to say "Everyone is fundamentally equal by birthright; why can't we all just agree on this and live our lives accordingly?" when you occupy the priviledged position; much harder to do when the results of institutional inequality have a very real negative impact on your daily life.

It’s people like this who truly motivate me to continue on when I am arguing with, what sometimes feels like all of society, on a certain issue. When I feel opposed against by someone who’s much more abrasive or is slightly more outspoken than I am, I think back to those who really did have the entire world against them at the time. I think back to those who were truly oppressed and faced much more and indescribably much harsher backlash than I ever have before and STILL pressed onward and STILL kept fighting for what they believed in. That’s how I remember I have no reason to back down, and have tremendous respect for these people who kept fighting for what was right no matter what.

Over the last 30 years it is estimated that the United States forfeited 16 T-trillion dollars in economic growth through structural financial repression. And that's just structural racism towards Blacks. That's the entire US output in all of 2012. The War on Poverty didn't fail because wars on poverty can't work. Johnson's plan failed because the implementation was left to the states to distribute federal block grants. The racists were given the money to fight racism and failed on purpose. Then they concocted a story that the failure was somehow inevitable. Don't cry, hold your leaders to account. There's been a tremendous amount of research and scholarship on the details of how structural racism (government policies) is baked into our system. We can root it out. 2/3 of the problem can be solved in a generation and a half. This new generation of young people is fantastic. They came together en mass against hate and bigotry. They just need leadership that is knowledgeable about implementation and keeps them involved. We can do this, and we'll all prosper if we do it together and do it in the right (effective) way. It's already so much better than when I was a kid in the 1960s.
