For me the "Brown Man" or "Roast Breadfruit" worldview is just that... a certain way of looking at or dealing with the world.... one can be Black, Brown, Red or White and have such a worldview ... and similarly one can be Black, Brown, Red or White and hold a more progressive (imho) viewpoint.
Whatever their view may be I believe it's important for people to discuss how society is organized and for whose benefit... even or maybe especially when it comes to issues of race and class... the uncomfortable truths that many like to ignore...only for the sores to fester. Ventilation of these matters is healthy..imho. Let all views contend and everyone make up their own mind on issues of the day.
I trust this clarifies the matter...although I suspect it will not.,,,but I have temporarily removed my chip in composing this respectful post.
Positively yours,
