i'm grateful to the interviewer for bringing hilton, for his thoughtful questions, close reading and listening. and i'm grateful to hilton, as ever, for being penetrating, imaginative, contrary (as he likes to say), and bighearted. white girls is a remarkable achievement, both for the quality of the writing and the ideas. just beautiful.
I really like Hilton Als outlook on friends, seeing the world through their eyes and them seeing the world through your own eyes. The whole convenient friendship thing kind of stabbed at my heart though, because I really do need *me* time... I'm a bit of a loner and enjoy solitude for weeks on end sometimes.
This man is brilliant for even trying gain true knowledge of his subjects of matter. If it makes you insecure than sure you can be upset. It's biased in your perspective. But the fact that he analyzes these things in such a realistic manner allows the truth to be told. And some people can't handle the truth. Naturally. Cheers
He alludes to it breifly at the beginning, but I think he and the interviewer just kind of regard "that fact" as common sense and not so relevant, except in a vaguely ironic way, to a book that was written to reflect growing up in a family/milieu (not a society or nation state, fine) that was dominated by minority women, and encountering "white women" as 'others' in contrast to the cultural narrative you wish he would write about.
traditionally,,white women have worked educated them selfs and raised children.and somehow..acquire s bit of economic status...a dam hard journey...its a hard work mentallity...which is learned from thee example...of the white family

LOL..The insecurity button is getting a good workout on this vid.
What he said about friendship hit me in the gut. I have several male friends and I worry that I will lose them after they get married.

I agree.
Pretty disappointed in all these comments, almost entirely missed the point.
When did Barry White start writing books?
Wow. This was more interesting than I expected.
Cool I love uncle Phil
The host is kind of creepy
I read the Truman Capote chapter thinking that Hilton Als felt negatively towards him - I read so wrong
If there was no video footage, you would assume this was a recording of ESPN's John Clayton talking to Jimi Hendrix.
Uncle Phil that you?
THATS UNCLE PHIL FROM FRESH PRINCE

well the host is a bit robotic
he enforces the guests to be too set in the moment of importance regarding every aspect making every vid monotone as fuc!
