So...I haven't read all your writings but am now going to...it would help to know how you define the term "Foundational Black American". It's not one I'd heard before and, while I accept that you don't owe it to me to educate me- that goes without saying- you'd be doing me and others like me a great, and undeserved favor by offering a definition of that phrase. If you choose not to, I respect that as well.
