More From Jamaica Kincaid

I was on a panel with light skinned blacks and a famous gay science fiction writer, who were complaining about how blacks are against gays and light skinned blacks and how intolerant blacks are of different groups. my position was that blacks were among the most humanistic, tolerant groups in the country and that across the street from my house in oakland was one inhabited by white gays.

Because of the civil rights movement, new doors of opportunity and education swung open for everybody ... not just for blacks and whites, but also women and latinos; and asians and native americans; and gay americans and americans with a disability. they swung open for you, and they swung open for me. and that's why i'm standing here today-because of those efforts, because of that legacy.
