I hope that this interview won't be dismissed as another "bootstraps" polemic by an elite like Freeman or Cosby, when it seems like just a regular guy reflecting thoughtfully about himself & his culture. So much of our cultural conversation around race reduces to the tension between the prioritization of group & individual identity. I really appreciated this interview, including his assessment of Ta-Nehisi Coates. I'll have to pick up his book.
