Hands up, don't shoot!

America has been at war with North American Africans since we arrived as victims of kidnapping, mass rape, torture, terror and trauma. James Baldwin told me in a 1968 interview, "Nothing else happened here but us. For a black father to raise a black son in this environment is a miracle. I applaud the men who are able to do so. It's a wonder we all haven't gone stark raving mad."
