@blacklikewho Quick question, and I hope to talk more about this with you one day: what else might we expect from members of Black intelligentsia/Black elite; are we almost always out of touch the moment we gain some kind of status?
@MuseWendi Interesting point, yet for some scholars, like Calvin Warren, the violence upon us remains incessant. The hope that black ppl can participate in an anti black politic has limited our approaches. In short, the Obamas don’t quite belong in this convo(?). None of us do.
