I am approaching this with anthropological precision.
Here are a few observations.
Ishmael Reed settles scores.
“[Henry Louis] Gates was Stanley’s enabler and ideological bedfellow. He too believes that the chief impediment to Black progress is the personal behavior of “the black underclass.” https://t.co/bSf7MbMIUm
From La Courneuve to the @washingtonpost 💪🏿
I am honored to announce that I am the first French journalist to join the Washington Post Global Opinions as a contributor on social issues. Thanks to @elopezgross for trusting me!
Immense fierté 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
