In America, a black intellectual only joins the human race by joining the right wing*. I had almost said
when he votes Republican. Nearly all the other black "thinkers," their writers and other disseminators of ideas, excluding maybe Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama, are too caught up in the black question to join the rest of us. Thus the majority of their works, if not all of them, are focused on black people and the police, or black people in history, or black people in business, or black people in politics. There's no Thomas Sowell, who's known primarily for his works on economics, or Voddie Baucham, known primarily for his lectures on Jesus and Homeschooling, or Ben Carson, known primarily for his work on brain surgery. Instead we get a slew of one-trick-ponies and racial narcissists, the likes of Ta-Nehisi Coates,
Brittney Cooper, Shaun King, Al Sharpton,
James Baldwin, Jesse Jackson, and
Michael Eric Dyson. The only way a black man gets ahead in the Democratic Party is by cutting himself off from the rest of humanity; by whittling himself down to something so small, so specific, so niche, that it can only appeal to black men such as himself, or to white people looking to glorify themselves for loving black people. A huge market, really, but the biggest one only to spiritual and intellectual midgets.
