I went to the Johnson blurb. I remain confused, however, because it seems as if the (selective) “self-criticism” some have decided we need to have publicly seems to be within a reactionary framework. Michael Eric Dyson, Kevin Powell, et. al. don’t have to go there. Perhaps it’s because they’re trying to organize and educate us, not rant. Where’s the self-criticism of, for example, a) us not being self-defining and self-determining enough?, and b) “growing up” by creating our own institutions to implement our own agendas? Not in Esquire! Instead, it’s “niggers ain’t shit,” blah, blah, blah, etc. Easy hit, and not bad for your career, either.
