BALDWIN: Look, we live in Harlem, let's say, or we live in Watts. The mother who comes down there with his cap and his own gun in his holster, he doesn't know what my day is like. He doesn't know why I get drunk when I do. He doesn't know anything about me at all. He's scared shitless of me. Now, what—the—fuck is he doing there? All he can do is shoot me. He's a hired concentration-camp keeper. I can police my own community far better than you ever will. Because you can't. It's not in you to do it. I know why somebody there is upset when he is upset. The cats were right when they were told by somebody, some cop, some leader, some mayor to go home. They said you go home, we are home, baby. We can take care of ourselves. This is the message we're trying to get across; we don't need you to take care of us. Good Lord, we can't afford to have you take care of us any longer! Look what you've done. To us. And to yourselves in taking care of us. No. I think the black people in this country should run their own schools, and run their own police force. Because you can't do it. All you can do is bring in tanks and tear gas… and call the National Guard when it gets too tight. And think you can fight a civil war and a global war at the same time.
James Baldwin, Esquire, July 1968

Q. How would you define somebody who smashes in the window of a television store and takes what he wants? BALDWIN: Before I get to that, how would you define somebody who puts a cat where he is and takes all the money out of the ghetto where he makes it? Who is looting whom? Grabbing off the TV set? He doesn't really want the TV set. He's saying screw you. It's just judgment, by the way, on the value of the TV set. He doesn't want it. He wants to let you know he's there. The question I'm trying to raise is a very serious question. The mass media-television and all the major news agencies-endlessly use that word "looter". On television you always see black hands reaching in, you know. And so the American public concludes that these savages are trying to steal everything from us. And no one has seriously tried to get where the trouble is. After all, you're accusing a captive population who has been robbed of everything of looting. I think it's obscene.
James Baldwin, Esquire, July 1968

なるかみの, すこしとよみて, A faint clap of thunder, さしくもり, Clouded skies, あめもふらぬか, Perhaps rain will come. きみをとどめむ? If so, will you stay here with me? なるかみの, すこしとよみて, A faint clap of thunder, ふらずとも, Even if rain comes or not, わはとどまらむ, I will stay here, いもしとどめば。 Together with you.
万葉集 11, 2514 - 2513 (Man’yōshū vol. 11, verse 2514 - 2513), from the movie 言の葉の庭 (The Garden of Words). (via weirdo-chan)

I submit that style, too, is an answer to a common want; but not so much to formulated problems as to felt difficulties of an emotional kind... Style is fundamentally a pose, a stance, at times a self delusion, by which the people of any period meet the particular dilemmas of their day.
