The Dilemma of the Black Intellectual

I asked the audience, in effect, what am I to do up here? What is a respectable black intellectual to do? And if you combine that with the fact that the things that you have to say may not line up with whatever the latter day, fat and fancy tells you that a thinking person is supposed to say. It's what are his peers doing that he comes to value that leads him to make choices that end up with him being in a fix. So as an economist who bears bad news, I'm here to tell you, black lives matter have got it wrong.
