In reply to the discussion: Alice Walker calls on Alicia Keys to boycott ‘apartheid’ Israel [View all]azurnoir
(45,850 posts)159. I'm implying that the younger Ms Walker knows what chords to strike
for audience appeal and BTW what I gathered prior to your revelations, the falling out had much more to do with Alice Walkers being too feminist in the way she raised her daughter ie not allowing her to play with dolls or do girlie stuff like that, but your stuff is certainly more sensational and paints Alice Walker as a racist evn where her own child is involved I'll hand it to you for that one as it' certainly in keeping with the witch hunting smear tactics of this thread. I can only imagine what it would have been like if Keys had accepted, but Keys is in come back mode right now and really needs all the exposure she can get

That's just denial of all the facts on the ground, including the laws of the land.

To Rebecca, the name change symbolized “living in the world of non-white skin"
