Sonia Sanchez (b. 1934), U.S. poet. Black Women Writers at Work, ch. 10, by Claudia Tate (1985).
The black artist is dangerous. Black art controls the "Negro's" reality, negates negative influences, and creates positive images.

once more I have tried to make sense of the poem TCB by Sonia Sanchez and once more have to state again that such a deeply racist poem should never have been published, for it has no artistic merit whatsoever, and certainly did not require very much effort to out together. If a " white" person had written such a piece they would have been condemned as racist.
The poem " TCB" by Sonia Sanchez is one of the most repulsive so called poems I have ever had the misfortune to read. One wonders how she ever managed to get this published. It certainly did not take long to write and is deeply unpleasant
