Faulkner was raised by a black woman.
That's who he dedicated Go Down, Moses to.

If writing in Ebonics is inherently racist, I never want to read a passage by a black, American author written in Standard American English ever again.

I loved it, I originally didn't think I would like the section as much as Benjy's from what I've heard of it (taking place in Harvard area rather than the Compson's), but holy shit it blew me away (and continues to).

I'm just trying to parse everything as best I can, maybe I'm trying too hard to understand it all on the first read through, because I'm moving along at a snail's pace.

No, no. Everything is racist when a colored person does it.

See: Racism for a fuller account.
