Zora Neale Hurston would probably be designated as a "Black White Supremacist" today, assuming any younger person even knows who she is.
Below is a perfect response to critics on her writings ( taken from Wikipedia):
In response to Black writers who criticized her novel Their Eyes Were Watching God because it did not explore racial themes, she stated: "I am not interested in the race problem, but I am interested in the problems of individuals, white ones and black ones".
Interestingly, Zora spent the last of her life in my parent's hometown of Fort Pierce, FL and is buried there. She spent the end of her life in relative obscurity.
