I'll accept the fact that my analogies were not great but the point is that it was a negotiation and there was nothing stopping the producers from deciding not to agree to his terms. None of your opinions overcome the fact that they wanted him and were willing to pay him his price.
I have a friend who is a fashion designer. As a young man, he was bombarded by people telling him to sell to them at a lower price point. He steadfastly refused because he had confidence in the value of his product. You can probably guess what happened: he eventually became a name that you may know. Chefs do the same thing. Creative people do not have to sell themselves short, unless that is their choice.
Finally, you say it is not about race but let me just say that your pronouncement on that subject runs counter to the avalanche of voices we have heard in the last weeks and months from persons of color that is is ALWAYS about race. Jeremy Pope does not prove otherwise, and I doubt he would agree with you. |
