I remember the arguments and conversations I had with Kenyans about African Americans.  To make a long story short, many Kenyas thought the black folks in Tarzan movies were African Americans playing African Americans.  So Tarzan movies managed to misrepresent black folk on both sides of the Atlantic in one fell swoop.  (“A Southerly Wind Blows . . .

In fact, I felt so calm that I realized I would feel comfortable anywhere in the universe – because I belonged to it and was a part of it, as much as any star, planet, asteroid, comet or nebula.  Didn't my body and my mind contain the same atoms and energy as do the stars?  (“Harnessing Explosive Winds,” p. 193, Scholastic Press, 2001)
