@retrosoul__ "Well, I don't want to seem to lambast the Christian church. But in the case of the Christian church, what has occurred now is what I call a collision. There's a vast, a terrible collision between what Christians say they do and what they actually do. And where they say they were going, and where we've actually arrived. And if this journey has brought us there to where we are, then one's got to examine the principles on which is journey was undertaken. And begin to look back. To look back, and tell the truth about what we really wanted, and who we really are." + Audio: James Baldwin at the Masonic Memorial Temple in San Francisco, 5/7/1963 . + Photo: James Baldwin, NYC, 1964 [ Photo Credit: Robert Elfstrom ] . . . #fortheculture #iamnotyournegro #thefirenexttime #blackculture #blackhistoryisamericanhistory #thisisamerica #baldwinite #jamesbaldwintaughtme #jamesbaldwin
