Thank you for uploading the full interview in such high quality. Baldwin was a true gem. His legacy deserves to be preserved and cherished.
“I’m terrified at the moral apathy, the death of the heart, which is happening in my country. These people have deluded themselves for so long that they really don’t think I’m human. I base this on their conduct, not on what they say. And this means that they have become, in themselves….moral monsters.” -
James Baldwin
Chile...that part takes me away every time.
Wow !!!
"Moral Monsters'
Powerful Man ✊🏾
I’m 67 now. I’ve reached the same conclusion as James Baldwin. Eyes wide open.
11:03
When are we having a documentary about his life, his work and his struggles?????????He deserves a Netflix docuseries.
There IS an incredible award-winning documentary already! It's called I Am Not Your Negro. Highly recommend watching! But I agree MORE docos are needed!
Please , name one documentary that was put together and spoke more than 10% to the american problem, affects, effects and/ or solutions????? Let us get enough manhood to make our own stories, without asking someone else to expose their evil and award us for it. Never happened and never will.
It’s has already been done e. The American Experience did his life story. .
"It's a terrible indictment...but I mean every word I say."
- wow moment
Still relevant today, amazing and not much has changed and in fact imploding
I can never argue against anything that James Baldwin says. He absolutely knew what the struggle of race is about and could articulate it so eloquently. A genius.
This is it America! James Baldwin the author, teacher, speaker and social scientist breaking the subject matter of "supposed equality" in America like molecules. Bravo 👏
WOW. He truly advocates black empowerment and equality AND One Love of Humankind. Truth speaks volumes . 💖
Yes @Josh O. Not revenge, not hatred of another race as was done to you
Will be forever grateful for Mr. Baldwin's rare ability to express the full extent of our deepest emotions, concerning one of the greatest evils of mankind
more relevant today than ever..sadly so. the wisdom of this man, his understanding of our country astounds me. yes how are we gonna save ourselves from this moral monstrosity?
Wow, this makes sense of so much of today
What an interview! I love the part at the end when he asks Mr. Baldwin what he thinks about the future of this country. Such an an important question to ask a man who thought and felt so deeply, and saw so much. Baldwin answers, in effect, that the future of this country depends on the willingness of white people to face the question, "Why do we need a (n-word)?" To me, this is a call to reconnect with our own humanity. Thank you, James Baldwin, for this invitation.
The brilliance of JB!
What Baldwin so eloquently - and sadly - point out is that racism (not racial awareness nor racial sensitivity, but RACISM) is a form of hatred that infects not only the victim but also the perpetrator, as well as their respective families. Imagine living the one life we know you get to live on this planet in a state of hatred towards others, hatred,, which is nothing more than the expression of irrational fear botn of ignorance regarding those you do not personally know and those you may never meet. It is the most obvious way to simply throw one's life away by denying oneself the richness and profound experience that comes from love of humanity and free association with those unlike you and who, by their unlikenes, can teach your so much about yourself that you cannot learn through any other ns or medium. In its essence, it is not unlike the slave/master relationship wherein the slave is truly the master of his life and the master truly is the slave of his own. If the relationship were to end, the slave has the tools and the experience to survive on his or her own, while the master lacks those tools and experience and thus is helpless in the world. Racism is the master's reaction to being left without his slave and forced to live on his own, but trying to remake his reality as his reaction to being totally unable to manage his existence on this planet...with love and understanding.
This is what happens when someone turns YT into a platform for their own thoughts in comments on videos. Comments in which those who make them wish others pay attention to them and not the video at hand.
@@skiphoffenflaven8004comments are for discourse of all kinds. what’s the issue with voicing your opinion
He was fantastic brilliant intellectual thinking expressive poetic heartfelt human being and I love them all and we have failed them greatly and I am sadden greatly. And we are in the future still getting done as they fought to stop.
Miss you James Baldwin 🙏🏽
Que intrevista incrível e tão importante! Emocionante. Obrigada por compartilhar! Salve James Baldwin 🖤
I've watched so many Baldwin videos and he seems so defeated in this clip...... *sighs* 😔
Recorded May 24, 1963, right after an extraordinary, contentious, exhausting, and dispiriting meeting with Robert F. Kennedy, then Attorney General. That's the context to understand Baldwin's mood: "There are days -- this is one of them -- when you wonder what your role is in this country and what your future is in it. How, precisely, are you going to reconcile yourself to your situation here and how you are going to communicate to the vast, heedless, unthinking, cruel, white majority, that you are here?"
@@deanblobaum4988Such power, truth, love, eloquence, clarity in the face of the ongoing nightmare America perpetuates. Each one of us much be like James Baldwin wherever we are. Speak truth to power.
I would ask any black americans a genuine question-what has changed or improved since 1963? I personally view this era as a highpoint myself of african american culture the jazz soul music people like james baldwin who was a towering figure no doubt
@@azo9026And Black people now recognize the integration strategy was detrimental to our progress-economically, socially, politically, spiritually, etc.
James Baldwin has a very clear, concise way of explaining racism. I am so grateful to him for sharing his gifts with us.
Wow,.....Miss Mr. Baldwin and His Intelligence,....!
1963 to 2022 and nothing has changed in racism
I think the inhuman treatment of african americans has been too horrific, the traumatic consequences too deep, provoking a chain reaction that might never be completely halted. For every action there is a reaction and it is sad and tragic to find out the gravity and inhumanity that is our history on this planet.
And @Nancy Hogan so true. AFRICA is to this day engaged in slavery. Slavery goes on in several countries that somehow continues to escape any scrutiny whatsoever.
The tragic inhumane history continues. The nail in the coffin attempting to make Black Americans a permanent under class with 2024 open borders. Millions of Military age men and Gangs are coming through the borders Venezuela'l Has emptied their prisonsand nation of their undesirables and anyone who wants to come 450,000.Legal, can't say illegal anymore because because they now have temporary legal status purr Sleepy Joe. I smell oil.
And a lot of ppl sit there talking about now we're doing great. Mmm, we've been coasting for a long time. People aren't even aware that a lot of the conversations we have today, they've BEEN HAVING. They think it's all new and revolutionary, like finally we can sit down and talk about... oof, not new. A lot of us dont see these because it would make you annoyed to see how far we've come, but it's also not so far - just like we're made to feel like this was so long ago and it is not. They have heard us, white ppl just don't care. So many people should know about these, but people just aren't students of history - global history. And I don't mean it in an Arrogant or Obnoxious way, but it's true. I hope this comes across so many more of us.
There's also the matter of how discussions like these have been intentionally buried and institutionally, systematically repressed. Imagine if we were taught this in school as children, and how much further along we'd be if that had been our starting point.
Moral Monsters

Thanks. Helpful.
Those sure are words
"The country is worried about the Muslim movement...it shouldn't be worried about the Muslim movement, that's not the problem. It should be worried about the conditions that breed the Muslim movement!"
Baldwin was speaking about the Black Panthers, of course, but it's interesting to see how dehumanizing bigotry and oppression work the same way each time.
No, he is speaking of the Nation of Islam and/or Malcom X's Muslim Mosque, Inc.
The Black Panthers are/were a secular Marxist organization, led by Huey P. Newton.
@@emersonianeye5905but why was he referring to Malcom x and the black Panthers? Was he against their ways? I was not aware of this. I always figured icons like Malcom x, stokely Carmichael, Dr. King Jr, and Baldwin would be apart of the same idea.
This interview was done in 1963. The panthers came into existence in late 1967.
