The Effects of James Baldwin’s Ideologies
Racism, discrimination, segregation, racial tensions, racial profiling, and stereotyping are
words used to describe the kind of treatment meted out to ethnic minority groups, especially
African-Americans and Hispanics, by the white majority. Events such as the extra-judicial killing
of teenage and innocent black males and frequent arrest of Latinos suspected drug and gangrelated criminal activities have only fueled the discontent among these races against their fellow
citizens. Interestingly, oppressive practices by the dominant race against the minor ones have
been part of the American system since the colonial master first arrived on the shores of this
nation. The rights and privileges of the Native Indians and the blacks slaves from Africa were
restricted and not the same as the white slave owners. When the country became independent ,
and the agitation for the abolition of slave trade pitted the North against the South thereby
leading to civil war, these issues remained an inherent part of the systems used to run the society.
Civil rights movement sprung in their drove to campaign against the issues of discrimination,
segregation, and inequality. Meanwhile, the ideological difference existed among the various
groups and coalition on how to resolve the problem. James Baldwin’s perspective on racism and
racial discrimination isolated him from America’s mainstream civil rights movement since his
focus on the resolution of the inequality issues as a means to encourage whites to accept other
races.
Eldridge Cleaver described “Baldwin as a traitor that has a grueling, agonizing, absolute
hatred for black people, especially of himself and a shameful, fanatical, fawning, sycophant of
white people” (Rich, 2016). Although this expression or assessment of an individual that wrote
several articles and essays on the plights of African-Americans may be harsh, historians and
literary scholars on civil rights activities explained that the writer was partly responsible for this

characterization. Rich (2016) stated that several of his actions could be construed to support this
fact. First, the decision to move to France at the prime age of twenty-four years so as to avoid the
“merely negro” or “Negro writer” is evident of attempt the real issues surrounding his race. He
noted that the argument that the real writer is always changing shifting and searching as a means
of countering the negative characterization of his ideological stance had minimal impact.
Furthermore, Baldwin’s comments and statements are evidence of his controversial
stance on the issues of racial discrimination and the suffering of the black in twentieth American
society. One of the actions that made most analysts considered unsympathetic to these issues was
his refusal for the description of spokesman for his race or the civil rights movement. In the cross
to the redemption, Baldwin & Kenan (2011) wrote that Baldwin’s position was that the political
labels, sexual labels, racial identity were all “inventions of paranoid, infantile minds that lack
understanding of the true meaning of color. In his opinion, it is neither a human nor personal
reality but a political one.”
In spite of brilliant academic achievement and excellent relationship with individuals
from various races, the effect of Baldwin’s behavior was isolation from causes that could benefit
from his experience and position within the society. The decision not to align with a political or
civil rights movement and failure to articulate his views and positions clearly caused Baldwin
dearly. Cleaver’s description of him as a white sycophant caused a place among the list of
speakers at Martin Luther King’s organized March on Washington. Add itional to the nonrecognition of his influence on the quest for social change and equality of all races, his works
were not classified in the same light as those Fredrick Douglas and other prominent black
crusader. Although security agencies classified him as a national security threat...
