“As a journalist, I never critiqued anyone. I never review books. I've never felt qualified as a musician to say whether someone is a good musician or a bad musician. What happens with Black writers and Black artists is that if you're critiqued, for example, by a Black historian who wants to get his name on the cover of "The New York Times," and he says something, like, wacky, well, he'll get his name on the cover of "The New York Times" and he might get tenure, and your career suffers.” IfsWantWellsBookMightHappensArtistSufferingNamesFeltBlackCareersNew YorkExampleMusicianJournalistReviewsHistorianQualifiedNew York TimesTenureWacky Author:James McBride
