Excellent questions by the interviewer. One man to another.

James Baldwin has a very clear, concise way of explaining racism. I am so grateful to him for sharing his gifts with us.

We must appreciate and celebrate Baldwin's talent and insight. He was an underappreciated national treasure! Sadly, the "moral monstrosity" that he spoke of at that time is still evident today, not merely in America, but also elsewhere in the world. Black people are being slaughtered in the Sudan and Papua New Guinea. When will "man's inhumanity to man" end? The dominant groups of various societies are still not ready to deal with their racism and the need to oppress Blacks. They are still not ready to address Baldwin's central question--that is, "Why do they feel the need to create the 'N____r'?" A figment of their own racist imaginations.

I can never argue against anything that James Baldwin says. He absolutely knew what the struggle of race is about and could articulate it so eloquently. A genius.

"The country is worried about the Muslim movement...it shouldn't be worried about the Muslim movement, that's not the problem. It should be worried about the conditions that breed the Muslim movement!" Baldwin was speaking about the Black Panthers, of course, but it's interesting to see how dehumanizing bigotry and oppression work the same way each time.

Beautiful; yet real conversation that still applies to day💯

What an interview! I love the part at the end when he asks Mr. Baldwin what he thinks about the future of this country. Such an an important question to ask a man who thought and felt so deeply, and saw so much. Baldwin answers, in effect, that the future of this country depends on the willingness of white people to face the question, "Why do we need a (n-word)?" To me, this is a call to reconnect with our own humanity. Thank you, James Baldwin, for this invitation.

The brilliance of JB!

Great Man

Still relevant today, amazing and not much has changed and in fact imploding

26:47 did Baldwin predict the Birmingham bombing that happened 3 years later?...

24:49 This recording has been briefly interpreted at this point???

"It somehow assumes that i have not been to your wedding and have not made my own judgements about the marriage." A classic Baldwin-ism

These Caucasian who interviewing know what the deal is

What was the purpose for separate toilets. They chit we chit all chit stink

Slavery was a curse

This was before I was born

And a lot of ppl sit there talking about now we're doing great. Mmm, we've been coasting for a long time. People aren't even aware that a lot of the conversations we have today, they've BEEN HAVING. They think it's all new and revolutionary, like finally we can sit down and talk about... oof, not new. A lot of us dont see these because it would make you annoyed to see how far we've come, but it's also not so far - just like we're made to feel like this was so long ago and it is not. They have heard us, white ppl just don't care. So many people should know about these, but people just aren't students of history - global history. And I don't mean it in an Arrogant or Obnoxious way, but it's true. I hope this comes across so many more of us.

"It's a terrible indictment...but I mean every word I say." - wow moment

He was fantastic brilliant intellectual thinking expressive poetic heartfelt human being and I love them all and we have failed them greatly and I am sadden greatly. And we are in the future still getting done as they fought to stop.

16:14 Talking about gun violence in America circa 1963!

When are we having a documentary about his life, his work and his struggles?????????He deserves a Netflix docuseries.

I would ask any black americans a genuine question-what has changed or improved since 1963? I personally view this era as a highpoint myself of african american culture the jazz soul music people like james baldwin who was a towering figure no doubt

Awesome Teaching

Moral Monsters

Wow,.....Miss Mr. Baldwin and His Intelligence,....!

America karma knows your address

What Baldwin so eloquently - and sadly - point out is that racism (not racial awareness nor racial sensitivity, but RACISM) is a form of hatred that infects not only the victim but also the perpetrator, as well as their respective families. Imagine living the one life we know you get to live on this planet in a state of hatred towards others, hatred,, which is nothing more than the expression of irrational fear botn of ignorance regarding those you do not personally know and those you may never meet. It is the most obvious way to simply throw one's life away by denying oneself the richness and profound experience that comes from love of humanity and free association with those unlike you and who, by their unlikenes, can teach your so much about yourself that you cannot learn through any other ns or medium. In its essence, it is not unlike the slave/master relationship wherein the slave is truly the master of his life and the master truly is the slave of his own. If the relationship were to end, the slave has the tools and the experience to survive on his or her own, while the master lacks those tools and experience and thus is helpless in the world. Racism is the master's reaction to being left without his slave and forced to live on his own, but trying to remake his reality as his reaction to being totally unable to manage his existence on this planet...with love and understanding.

1963 to 2022 and nothing has changed in racism

“I’m terrified at the moral apathy, the death of the heart, which is happening in my country. These people have deluded themselves for so long that they really don’t think I’m human. I base this on their conduct, not on what they say. And this means that they have become, in themselves….moral monsters.” - James Baldwin

He was a bad interviewer , you can't cut off JB when he's talking ....!!!

This is it America! James Baldwin the author, teacher, speaker and social scientist breaking the subject matter of "supposed equality" in America like molecules. Bravo 👏

I've watched so many Baldwin videos and he seems so defeated in this clip...... *sighs* 😔

Wow, this makes sense of so much of today

Yes

Good to see these, because this shows that race has been already debated about, there's actually nothing more to go on that hasn't been said before.its not that white people are bad, its that small rural communities who never move out of their little 40 person town. Stuck in old ways because their drunk fathers keep holding onto hate.

Thank you for uploading the full interview in such high quality. Baldwin was a true gem. His legacy deserves to be preserved and cherished.
