I agree wholeheartedly with your take on everybody's responses. It seems like you actually read and digested the chapter in "Race Matters" where Dr. West elaborated on the subject of "black authenticity". Peace!

For all the other heads who have responded without actually saying anything about the book, you guys are just talkin' shit. Why lay a book with such socio-political depth as "Race Matters" on the table, then not constructively criticize it? Ri-goddamn-diculous!!!
