The quote often attributed to James Baldwin is: "We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist." However, this quote was not actually said by James Baldwin. It was written by essayist and novelist Robert Jones Jr., who used the online name @sonofbaldwin. Robert Jones Jr. posted this on social media in 2015, and it has since been misattributed to Baldwin. The quote speaks about the limits of disagreement when it involves denying someone's humanity and existence rights, emphasizing that love can persist through disagreement except in cases where disagreement becomes oppressive.
If the user is looking for the correctly attributed author, it is Robert Jones Jr., not James Baldwin.
