What it means to be daddy
A powerful, effective, deep showing, illustrating, examining, explaining of what consequences it has for African Americans to live in the racist USA. How most white liberals fail to see all the ways they/we -- still --behave [subconsciously:] in racist ways with racist thinking and attitudes.
My favorite essay in this 1993 book is the longest one, on Spike Lee's 1992 film "Malcolm X". Powerful stuff, great insight into Spike Lee the person, Denzel Washington the person, Malcolm X the person, and what Malcolm X meant and means to African Americans. A watershed in self-image of blacks. I now want to see the film, and to read The Autobiography of Malcolm X.
