They call the coming artists "dreamers" and tell them to get "real jobs." Till the late day when people realize that their own life and generation is going to pass away like all the others, like a dream into dream, and that only the arts can make something lasting of what's gone.
It's an excerpt from the full recording of a talk he gave in 1963, of which I've only heard on a cassette tape. I did some digging around back when I uploaded this, and this small part was the only thing I could find without paying a somewhat ridiculous fee to have an archived version of the full talk on a CD.
+ebony Gem He described himself as a socialist, and he described the Black experience in the most frank and vivid terms in his work. He also wasn't afraid of offending Whites like most people of his generation were, and was one of the few within the mainstream civil rights movement to have the respect of Malcolm X.
this was used in a house music song i searched for for years before realizing i had it on vinyl (prozac trax vol1 1994-1999) the song was called 'The Struggle' by Dance Or Die. this is great , thanks for uploading & sharing
Giving is not an investment it is a total risk of everything..of who you are..who you would like to be..where you would like to go...are you courageous enough to take that risk for the betterment of yourself and society

I kind of see where you're getting that from, but in strict terms he doesn't appear to have been religious. He was involved in his church as a kid, but he later said that "if the concept of God has any use, it is to make us larger, freer, and more loving. If God can't do that, it's time we got rid of him." He probably thought in Biblical symbols to an extent, but he took them in a pretty radical direction. He wasn't nationalistic, but he certainly wasn't passive and into relying on destiny.
After reading James Baldwin, I get the impression that a lot of people really miss read James Baldwin. For his outspokeness, his unwillingness to cut his words as he spoke on racial matters, the serious focus of tone and his words were, in my view, more than apocalyptic and these words of his has made a lot of people think that Baldwin was a political radical. Baldwin was an old testament moralist
I will Quote here "If we do not dare everything, the fulfillment of that prophecy, recreated from the Bible in song by a slave, is upon us: God gave Noah the rainbow sign, no more water the fire next time!!!!" For Baldwin believes that there is a Godly force or forces outside of our world that exist that human being are accountabul to, and if they don't live by these Godly laws will provoke a Godly punishment. This world view is morally conservative...
And as an old testament moralist he spoke about racism and the power of white "people" or the priviledge of white people in purely moral terms. He was never a nationalist .i.e. Malcolm X or a socialist by any means. Baldwin, if you read his literature and fiction was a traditionalist in orientation. As we read him we come to understand his view that was based on cosmic vengeance in his eassy "Down at the Cross:Letter from a Region of My Mind"
Sorry just my view of the writer and thinker James Baldwin, who has been mis-read as a militant radical and his fiction has shown him to very far from this view.
Thanks, I just found Baldwin just ambivalent and I found that just really boring and only sentimental. Perhaps "he" and "we" need to get of the bible socially and intellectually. I never have seen the work of Baldwin as an art of resistance, but an art of racial ambivalence.
