	NewsHour Online: Stanley Crouch
		STANLEY CROUCH: None of which is to say that when--the United States is not always attempting to purify its democratic proposition.
		STANLEY CROUCH: But, but it's not in the interest of the society or the particular group for people to be fed distortions, exaggerations, Marxist-derived simplifications, tribal visions, those kinds of things.
		STANLEY CROUCH: But I would suggest that many of the fl Americans who have been successful, baron leaders, realtors, newspaper men, beginners of magazines, founders of institutions, et cetera, they wouldn't at all deny that there were difficulties.

	Stanley Crouch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stanley Crouch (born December 14, 1945, Los Angeles) is an American music critic, syndicated columnist, and novelist perhaps best known for his jazz criticism and his novel Don't the Moon Look Lonesome?
		Crouch was summarily dismissed from JazzTimes following his controversial article, "Putting the White Man in Charge" in which he asserted that white critics elevate white jazz musicians beyond their abilities.
		After a short argument, Crouch punched Mandel, and then was confronted by Matthew Shipp himself who called Crouch "an Uncle Tom and a fucking loser".

	Reason
		Crouch has called Louis Farrakhan "insane" and Al Sharpton a "buffoon." He has denounced fl nationalism, Afro-centrism, and "the balkanization of America." He writes columns with titles like "It's Not Profiling, It's Good Policing." These are not the positions of a reverse racist, and this is not a man who plays the race card lightly.
		Crouch attributes the dearth of young interest in jazz to a lack of musical education in public schools; students aren't given the tools to appreciate the genius of Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, or even Crouch's good friend Wynton Marsalis.
		It is a lonely place that Crouch inhabits at the moment, outside of an "establishment" that largely embraces the music of free jazz, ethno fusion, and, to a lesser extent, crossover.

		An essay by Stanley Crouch is guaranteed to be an event for the reader: The author's personality, his persona, manifests itself with such force that one is compelled to enter into a kind of active dialogue with him.
		Crouch makes brief mention of Richard Price and Cormac McCarthy as exemplars who have successfully transcended racial and ethnic boundaries, but he does not fully argue the ways in which they have done so and in which their achievements could be emulated.
		Crouch works through his ideas on the myriad ways in which Tarantino turns racial and ethnic stereotypes on their heads, and in the process Crouch's own moral and artistic aesthetic becomes clear: "Tarantino's obsessions and the questions they raise are not encompassed in single-syllable words like 'race'.

		Born in Los Angeles, CA, on December 14, 1945, Crouch grew up in South Central L.A. (where his mother earned her living as a maid and his father was, in Crouch's words, "a criminal for the most part" who was "in and out of the penitentiary a lot").
		Crouch spent more than a decade at The Village Voice, and to say that he stepped on a lot of toes during his years there would be an understatement.

	Stanley Crouch?
		Stanley Crouch is to you the epitome of the racist Eurocentric, who rejects all forms of cultures that don't descends from the great Mayflower WASPs, the "purest descendants of the European high culture".

	'Ralph Ellison: An American Journey'
		Stanley Crouch: I wouldn't say that it is the greatest work of fiction of the 20th century -- there are others - but I would say it is one of them, because it captures the sensibility of an extremely intelligent individual from his skin inward and his skin outward.
		Stanley Crouch: I don't know how much of a professional relationship they had, but they talked a lot and had a lot of fun together and lived together in a house that Saul Bellow had in the fifties.

	Beatrice.com: Stanley Crouch Is a Punk
		The moment I am referring to is the spotlight on Crouch's blathering and thugishness (that so titillates twittering Tina— would she speak of the person who 'bitch-slapped' her for crimes against culture, as 'naughty'?) not his intellectual unmasking,which apparently, is way overdue.
		The reason that Stanley Crouch has survived for so long is that he functions as an cultural indicator for a great deal of the literary population, telling them what they want to hear.
		Crouch had a base appeal for me 8 years ago when I read him during my senior year of high school, because the themes he hits on are exhilarating to the esteem.

	Reading Between the Lines: A Literary Smack-Down Spices up the Summer Doldrums
		Peck, Crouch said, had "twisted and distorted the book, he twisted and distorted my other books, and he twisted and distorted ME." As Crouch sees it — and he admits to having written more than a few hard-nosed bad reviews himself — Peck dissed the honor code of literary criticism in a big way.
		Crouch has also built up some fat lips and bruises on other people over time, having reportedly turned to blows on multiple occasions," while Gawker tallied four supposed instances of Crouch throwing-down on someone.
		Except that these things have a way of taking on a life of their own, and not even the formidable Stanely Crouch can forever escape the fact that he, and brown-skinned people like him, are too rarely the keepers of cultural history in the United States.

		Crouch claims he recieved several calls thanking him for the act, which wouldn't be a surprise given that Peck made his name by penning extended negative and, often personal, reviews of other fiction writers.
		But while Crouch has yet to peel caps, the gangsta ethos is realer for him than it is for your average gun-talker.
		Much like the acts he derides, Crouch has a taste for swinging that is nothing short of a variation on the "I ain't no punk" theme seemingly encoded on the DNA of all fl males.

	Authenticity blues by Stefan Beck
		And though Crouch does not consistently convince us of his offbeat positions, his fusion of “low” subject matter with high intelligence achieves a kind of exhilarating effect.
		Crouch is appalled by this “immaturity … the result of a willful adolescence, not the helpless hell-raising of a person so poorly educated or underdeveloped that experience is never assessed beyond the perspectives of a teenage boy.” In simpler terms: Grow up!
		Crouch’s essays on literature (“Segregated Fiction Blues”) and popular film (“Blues in More Than One Color”) show most vividly the sway that pop culture holds over our conversations about race and authenticity.

		Stanley Crouch is one of the great provocateurs in American letters, which has led Salon to call him "the bull in the fl-intelligentsia China shop." Infamous for his controversial views on race, he loves to treat iconic figures such as Toni Morrison and Spike Lee as critical pincushions.
		Long passages are devoted to descriptions of the music Carla and Maxwell create, and while Crouch has inherited Albert Murray's mantle as one of our most lively jazz critics, his own voice merges with those of his characters in an odd and distracting way.
		Crouch also has a propensity for bizarre metaphors attributed to inner states, a prime example being this thorny item: "the sudden spread of this interior cactus." Finally, female readers should be warned: one of Carla's major strengths is that despite her white skin, she has a fl ass.

		Crouch is at his best when he integrates the worldview and artistic styles of Hemingway and Duke Ellington, one writing as a reflection of the blues and the other playing the blues.
		Crouch argues that the artist's responsibility is to art and his version of truth and ably demonstrates his personal adherence to that creed.

		Crouch can also be something of a hothead who can dish it out better than he can take it.
		Just as Crouch resists applying ideological positions to works of art, he also bemoans the segregation of American fiction, where fl and white writers alike are so mindful of Hemingway's advice to "write what you know" that they refuse to step outside their own small, familiar worlds.
		Crouch instead is a passionate advocate of integration, personally and artistically, a point he makes repeatedly in his latest collection, The Artificial White Man: Essays on Authenticity.

		But critic Stanley Crouch's exploration of Duke Ellington's lasting contribution to American culture was easily the most trenchant and well-written piece in the issue.
		Crouch's troublemaking reputation was made with his first essay collection, 1990's "Notes of a Hanging Judge," which smacked the slumbering genre of race and cultural criticism out of its 30-year torpor.
		Crouch also took down filmmaker Spike Lee ("a nappy-headed Napoleon"), while championing young white artists like Quentin Tarantino, whose use of the term "nigger" Crouch defended in his next essay collection, "The All-American Skin Game."
