…It’s not ‘acting white’ to read a book. This whole attitude of anti-intellectualism in our communities is one of the most damaging things that we can do to our young people. No other culture I’m aware of does this: tell you it is to your advantage not to be smart. It doesn’t make any sense. | |
— Senator Barack Obama | |
From the book: “Who’s Afraid Of A Large Black Man?“, | |
