I believe that most of the ills that I address in this book -- the racism, the sexism, the homophobia -- can be engaged, if not relieved, if we, yes, reread [James] Baldwin and scores of really smart black intellectuals, including Robin D. G. Kelley and Farah Jasmine Griffin, and if we elect good politicians like Kamala Harris, Andrea Jenkins, Ras Baraka, and Eric Holder, and if we listen to great artists like Jay-Z and Beyonce, and Kendrick [Lamar] and Rapsody.
