Nikki Giovanni & James Baldwin 1971 pt. 2 | @obabalu (Ep. 105)

On this week's episode Oba and I continue to listen and react to clips of a conversation between Nikki Giovanni and James Baldwin that took place in 1971. A brief synopsis of the clips are as follows... 1. Giving your kid the game 2. Taking care of my block first, before I try to save the rest of the African Diaspora 3. We’re not obliged to believe the definitions that others give themselves. We have to make our own definitions and rule the world that way. Out of our terrifying sense of suffering, there is a sense of life that we have that everyone needs. 4. The church, Nikki not having anything stronger to offer black folks than Jesus.
