Tayari's Blog: One Black Person At A Time?

Martha Southgate goes off over at Elegant Variation:

I’m just sayin’—it’d be nice if there was some way for a few more (black) folks to get onto the cultural radar screen and have a chance for readers to discover them. Maybe more of us should have ill-advised hook ups with each other and booze it up and start nasty literary feuds and create the kind of gossip that white folks have been doing for years.

My take on this tomorrow....

Hey, Tayari,
I couldn't find your take on this. What'd you think? I wasn't saying the people don't exist. I was saying we don't get the spotlight in the same way--or rather in the multiple way, you know?
