“racism is based on fear, that when the white racist confronts the black man, what he sees is not the individual man but a “nightmare” of his own creation”
David A. Leeming, James Baldwin: A Biography

“Not only could “ugliness” be beautiful, it could be associated with talent and might even be a source of power.”
David A. Leeming, James Baldwin: A Biography

“Baldwin came to see that this man, who frightened him so much that “I could never again be frightened of anything else,” was a victim of a morally bankrupt religion, a morally bankrupt society, that he was a black parody of that bankruptcy”
David A. Leeming, James Baldwin: A Biography
