Negrophile. One who admires and supports Black people and their culture.

the other night i had drinks at the W hotel with antonio, a wonderful friend of mine from my grad school days. of course our conversation turned to politics. he was telling me of his reluctant need to step into a departmental argument with other faculty over inviting bill cosby to speak at his university. sighing he said, 'i have to say something. i don't want to but i have to rock the boat.'

i agreed and reminded him of the time, years ago, when he said, 'they are about to turn me into a militant black man.'

let's hear it for being militantly brown.
