Just to point out how very out of touch with us you are, what on earth makes you postulate that we wouldn't know who James Baldwin was? The embarrassment is - or should be - yours.

(I read his bio in the link but danged if I couldn't find your name there. Knowing that anyone can claim>/em> anything, let me point out that you have not earned any credibility here. I met a man once that I needed to have dealings with and the one thing he kept harping on is that when he was in 7th grade of school he was working at college level. I have no idea whether his claim was true but the fact that he kept repeating it made me very leery of it. So, as far as I'm concerned, you can drop the braggadocio- you ain't convincin' anybuddy.)
