Congrats. Alt-Righters and Cornel West fans forced Ta-Nehisi Coates of Twitter

[BushidoBrown]

pseudo activism?

Did you confuse yourself with who Cornel West is?

If u read my post you would see that i stated that West is not without flaws

Anyhow thats ur only rebuttal to my whole statement?
i rest my case

 

[Eddy Gordo]

I see a whole lot of juelzing going on right now.

If you don't agree with Coates that's up to you. But the man is speaking the truth on how a HE views the world, American culture, and white supremacy. Singh is right. Cornell west just out here c00ning and buck dancing for white folks and it's pitiful.

Also fukk you dudes calling him soft for getting off Twitter. The man getting trolled by white supremacists, old nikkas whose minds he can't change, and bitter females. He did what any reasonable adult supposed to do.

He realized the internet trolls ain't worth it and logged off.

You nikkas would rather have the man engaging in pointless Twitter beefs with random armies of trolls.

You’re the one who brought up people

So our criticisms of her stand. She’s from arguably the most racist anti-black region and culture on this planet. She has no dog on this fight.

Get your last word in but I’m done.

 

[D-NICE]

Is it a bad thing that I have no opinion on this? I literally don't care.

Two black intellectuals going at it.




Not sure why everyone has a take. West was a lost cause 10 years ago and Coates can stick up for himself.

Basically

This been going on for over a century between black intellectuals. I guess we just have social media now and everybody can chime in with an opinion or push an agenda.

If twitter was around when W.E.B. Dubois and Booker T. Washington or Martin and Malcolm were going at it ....

Black intellectuals are bytches. If yo have beef, don't air out your laundry for the whole cac world to see

bytch movement

 

[NoMoreWhiteWoman2020]

Yeah.

And I DARE you to say something.

Receipts. Great article, but Race Matters is a great book that is studied. TaNaheisi Coates essay cannot compare to that because it is just that, an article.

Why do we have to get into this pissing contest about who has done more for black folks? Is that not perpetuating the same shyt that caused all of this?

How do you know that most reparations will be funneled back into the hands of white people? What proof do you have to corroborate that claim?

Data. There's numerous studies, articles, threads on here and elsewhere regarding AA economics.

Why is this even a debate?

No it doesn’t stand. You asked if, I said “here”.

Youre back-pedalling badly

A lot of yall have no idea how much conservatives HATE Coates.

​

agree with much of what this lady is saying.

the issue i find with the whole thing is that people play this game of being loyal to one side or the other. Ppl who lean left are incapable of critiquing any democrat..foh

They act like conservatives are the only people who can be racist but if you look past the fake ass pandering by dems they can easily out to be just as racist as the conservative side..theyre just more sneaky about it

Theres a major issue with that cause they arent consistent in their challenging of the root causes of racism and inequality. They move the goal post depending on which group theyre critiquing
shyt is a farce

 

[invalid]

You're rambling.

Cornel West is out here talking about people in Palestine and some dumb shyt while Coates explicitly has written for close to a decade on the black American experience.

And he wasn't out here buck dancing for it either.

West hasn't written 1% of what Coates has in the last 10 years. Maybe the last 15.

I'm not a fan of West. I was just simply asking how would the white intelligentsia take to Coates advocating violence as a solution to disrupting the system?

If white supremacy is so egregious (which is what Coates argues), egregious measures should be taken to disrupt it. And he may argue this, but I'm not familiar with the breadth of his work, which is what I was asking. Wasn't making an argument for one or the other.

@4d 6f 6e 65 79 what exactly did cornel west say about wall street and american military policy that that fakkit Spencer agreed with? just tryna follow what happened

 

[Black Hans]

Coates reveals his preoccupation with white acceptance when he writes with genuine euphoria: “As I watched Barack Obama’s star shoot across the political sky ... I had never seen so many white people cheer on a black man who was neither an athlete nor an entertainer. And it seemed that they loved him for this, and I thought in those days ... that they might love me too.”

I will never understand why we are so quick to eat our own and dikk ride white people. These intellectual nikkas need to go visit a plantation and see first hand the nightmare they put us through, internalize it, and never talk shyt about another person of color trying to engage the public and educate them on what that did to us. Hating for no reason just because you are jealous. Pathetic spineless soft mutherfukker! I don't want to hear about this scum fukk Cornell west ever again!!!

 

[Bobby Lashleys eyebrows]

Sometimes it's better to back away then argue with a fool. He'll probably address it with Mr. West in private.
