IF WE are going to survive, that means that we have to decide who “we” are. That’s so basic, so obvious, so essential that it’s amazing how few people give much thought to it.
The Blacks have very little trouble deciding who they are. They know at a glance. They know by instinct. And, primitive as they may be, they are racially-minded to a degree that White folks would envy, if White folks had an ounce of sense. What do you think Ferguson was all about? What do you think bloc voting is all about? Race comes first for them — and they feel it in their bones.
