Love is at the heart of the Baldwin philosophy. Love for Baldwin cannot be safe; it involves the risk of commitment, the risk of removing the masks and taboos placed on us by society. The philosophy applies to individual relationships as well as to more general ones. It encompasses sexuality as well as politics, economics, and race relations. And it emphasizes the dire consequences, for individuals and racial groups, of the refusal to love.</p><p>— <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Adams_Leeming\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">David Adams Leeming</a>,&nbsp;<em>James Baldwin: A Biography</em><a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Baldwin#cite_note-FOOTNOTELeeming1994128%E2%80%93129-204\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">[192]</a></p><p><br></p><p>GET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME:<a href=\"https://open.acast.com/shows/6152264dc28ad2001383af42/episodes/www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.com</a></p><p>TUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT:<a href=\"https://open.acast.com/shows/6152264dc28ad2001383af42/episodes/www.instagram.com/mydbpodcast\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> www.instagram.com/mydbpodcast</a></p><p>OR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON:<a href=\"https://open.acast.com/shows/6152264dc28ad2001383af42/episodes/www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcast\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcast</a></p><p><em>OR WATCH ON YOUTUBE:</em><a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/juliemerica\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><em> www.youtube.com/juliemerica</em></a><em>&nbsp;</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.
