Haiti - US: ‘Racism is a profitable industry’, says author Dany Laferrière

Yes, to the surprise of the white establishment, who wondered how this young Black man, who had not gone to Harvard, could analyse his condition so lucidly. Baldwin goes beyond the question of racism., he explores the life of a sophisticated French intellectual, André Gide, and examines his relationship to homosexuality, a great taboo in 1950s America.

To introduce nuance is to remind ourselves of some truths: thousands of young whites died in the Civil War for a cause they had no idea about. In the late 1930s, risking her husband’s re-election to the White House, Eleanor Roosevelt resigned from the powerful Daughters of the American Revolution in response to the banning of Black singer Marian Anderson from performing in the auditorium of Constitution Hall.

I find it absurd to question the contribution of Black Americans to American culture, since they are at the origin of it, as much as whites are.One year links the two women: 1993. The former was chosen by Bill Clinton to read a poem at his inauguration; the second won the Nobel Prize for Literature. A great year for two powerful Black women, raised to the highest level in [literary] society.

While you denounce racism, how do you feel about those that seem to pull out the race card so often that one might think it a business card?
