You know, this Amiri Baraka is not even that good a poet. Great con man, though. He should be well received in New Jersey, wherever he goes there.

Baraka (Jones) is a classic affirmative action writer that got his foot in the door with "The Dutchman," an off-Broadway play that won him an Obie, and he parlayed the distinction of being a black playwright and a black nationalist into becoming a voice for the "oppressed." He is now a full-blown America hater and a Marxist.
