[Fred Nerks]

Don't mean to speak ill of the dearly departed, but she's an example what ails 'black culture' in the US. When, in one of her numerous biographical writings, she spoke about her brother being incarcerated twice, she referred to his crime (burglary) as a victimless crime but when she was disturbed by an intruder who appeared to be attempting to access her home, she shouted a warning and fired four shots through the closed door...

That dearly beloved brother drops out of her life like a stone, she never mentions him again, and refers to James Baldwin as my brother...
