Thank you for your analysis SOB. Knowing a little of what you have to face as a black gay man in the USA I imagine you have to carefully manage and protect your psychic energy eg where to place your care. As a recent migrant in the USA, it was really enlightening for me to read your description of ongoing white expectations for African Americans to be the perpetually understanding mammies. What an unspeakably ugly part of subjugation that was and is. This white fantasy of white purity and innocence that is deserving of black praise and deference, which is a required by the oppressor, is still ongoing. It is so vile. I follow and read many of your pieces and I learn so much from you. I thank you so much for all the energy that you choose to use and then give to us by publishing your piercing insights, and your humanitarian ethos.
