TONI MORRISON: YOUR QUESTION IS POWERFULLY RACIST!

If you’ve never read any Toni Morrison, this short clip might just inspire you to. The Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist is known for her unmatched poise, authority and articulacy - qualities on display here, as she halts the interviewer in her tracks to call out the implicit racism of her question (essentially: why doesn’t Morrison write about White characters?). The interviewer is left shell-shocked.

What’s your reaction?
