artists and politicians

I actually don't agree with the idea that wright brings up in the novel Black Boy. In this novel he holds the idea that artists and politicians stand at opposite poles. While it is true that artists use their emotions to create and politicians use logic and limit emotion when making big decisions, that still doesn't mean that they are opposites. Both politicians and artists alike use rhetoric in whatever it is they do. Whether that be trying to pursuade people to side with your decisions for the country, city, or whatever area you have power in, or if you are an artist trying to prove a points through your own special means of doing so. They both are still people, and while artist tend to strike against the government, the core that they live by and use to get through life is still the same no matter how you look at it. That's why I disagree with what Wright says in chapter 19.
