smith wants to end howard

Submitted by marquisedemerteuil on Mon, 04/02/2007 - 8:23pm.

howard belsey is actually white and english. i know when you said black you were referring to kipps (you is technically trinidadian, if you want to be technical) but he's not southern, haitian, or biracial, so i didn't see him included on your list. however, the beginning of the book isn't really clear about howard's race and it's clear that kiki is black and that his family is biracial. maybe smith does this intentionally, to level the playing field, to get rid of "the white guy" dominating the scene and our thoughts, he's just one of a big melting pot or something.
