Manufacturing Intellect : I followed you the second that got ‘online ‘. Thank you for posting this. I never would’ve thought that, in 2019, I would be so wound up in South America’s separation of people by how white/ brown/ ‘black’ their skin is, much less in the USA. I think it’s healthy to leave the everyday horrific nature of it... and just...hear someone talk ABOUT it. It’s good to re-realize the strangeness of it all. Thank you for this post. 🌹 I will absolutely donate to your excellent you tube account.

Her words, her vision, her Spirit, her towering intellect, her heart...helps reach places that I did not dare visit. With MotherSister Morrison guiding me I never felt alone. She grows me up. From the inside. You are now with the Immortals. Thank you for bestowing your love and wisdom upon us. Your words sear into the soul and once there, cannot be dislodged.

Wow. This is where they first met. This is where the respect and admiration began. 🥰

She was not ahead of her time, she was in her time. And these problems she confronts are have persisted through time. Her words are not prophecy simply because we're dealing with the same racial inequality and injustice and violence even 30 years later. They're merely tragic because, as she says. we never listen and we never deal with the discomfort of confronting ourselves and our systems earnestly, honestly, or for long enough to shift the culture toward real equality. She says in Beloved, "Because the white man don't know when to stop." Pray this is the moment where that "absence of heart" is remedied. I pray ours is the moment where the white men, like myself, stop. Stop and lay what evil we will find in ourselves and in our systems all the way down.

Stupendo e per me assolutamente nuovo. Mi ha aperto nuovi orizzonti mentali prima sconosciuti.

I can’t live without you 😔

Something about Charlie Rose and his interviewing personality always annoyed me.

Powerful saying 36:30 🙏🏾

37:50 wrong question but very clear response ❤

It’s ours Amen 😊😊😊😊

Watching this in 2021 and the coughing by Charlie is having in on edge a little🤣💀 GREAT INTERVIEW nonetheless 🙏🏾

I deserve all of it 🏆

Mother love me keep me warm Mother loves me, keeps me warm, nurtures me, cares for me, and calms me through the storm. To help me mother, help your baby to be strong, nothing more. No Money, is A Mercy, can The Bluest Eye find a Rainbow a Home? For Frank and his Sister here's a poem. I love you, Mother, I thank you everyday, love me, keep me warm, nurture me, care for me, show me what is right and wrong. Your love has kept me, in the light, words that make a man cave bright. And when I go to her at night, she rocks me in my cradle, so I sleep tight. I love you Mother. I Thank you everyday. Mother loves me, keeps me warm, nurtures me, cares for me, and calms me through the storm. To help me Mother, help your baby, to be strong, nothing more.

When he asked her: Who is your audience? And for whom are you writing? I was hoping she would say "Well to anyone who wants to read"

She may have misspoken; she may have not. The truth is, however, that most literature has a specific audience & not every writer can write for everyone who wants to read because in order to do that, too much context would have to be narrow-or be lost altogether. That’s too...elementary school. 1. I’ve read, for example, the Mein Kampf-which clearly was only written for people who believed in Nazi ideology; nevertheless, it’s important to read for everyone in order to reveal the mindset that damaged the world in a historically fundamental way. 2. The Bible is written for believers alone, or people who might become believers of that religion. Because if God is omniscient (all-knowing), then God knows-as implied in the bottle-that many or most people will not be believers, therefore by default the Bible is not for unbelievers. So even God (in that context) has an audience. 3. Shakespeare is the greatest writer ever & his works are known all around the world, yet even he had an audience & wasn’t writing for everyone. How do I know that? Because he could not have foreseen the eventual reach of his work, & he often uses characters & settings in other countries, but every character speaks English. Shakespeare’s work was for the English people of that time, speaking that incarnation of the English language, not anyone else. 4. I’ve read the Malleus Maleficarum-which is a 15th century manual written specifically for witch hunters. But it’s important to read for everyone because it explains a powerful superstition of the past that resulted in the gruesome murders of so many Europeans during the burning times. 5. It was important for Toni Morrison to have black people as her audience because once upon a time, there was no literature for blacks whatsoever because it was illegal for blacks to read or to even know HOW to read. Her books have a context that black people automatically understand because of a universal experience in America that almost no other group has. If someone ONLY reads what’s written for everybody, that’s someone who is blind to other mindsets that have a good or bad effect/influence/result in the world-which is dangerous. If someone ONLY reads what’s written for everybody, that’s a selective browser, but NOT a reader.
