If Coates should be criticized it should be the writing he's done in Black Panther. 
Cornel West is openly shytting on Ta-Nehisi Coates. What. The fukk?!

Better Trump was elected than Hillary and the rest of the liberal snakes who show token appreciation of the black vote without actually doing anything for our community. Because of Trump's flagrant white supremacy, black people are more on code and aware than we've been in decades.
Real shyt though...if its one thing we MUST stop as a people is shutting down divergent thought as "c00ning" and the sort. While I agree AND disagree on some points with West that doesn't invalidate his opinion. Which is what the "c00n" tag does.
I've read West and I've read Coates...they BOTH have championed our causes in different ways...and yet they BOTH have myopic viewpoints on certain things. This is human and natural and there is NOTHING wrong with criticizing it...in fact, its is NECESSARY for the survival of intelligent discourse.
So for as much as we talk about the polarization of thought in American and, by proxy, western culture. The more we need to realize that agree or disagree, stuff like this is needed.

Don't worry. This is just Nap trolling as usual and looking for a way to shyt on anybody who doesn't have a Hilary Clinton autographed poster on their wall. Cornell committed the mortal sin in the eyes of dudes like Nap of being critical of Clinton and argued in favor of third party support.
That somehow equates to him being a Trump supporter, even if he never once came even remotely close to ever showing a shred of support for Donald Trump or his policies, past and present.
That's the only reason he even posted this, not for a discussion of what Cornell actually critiqued. The proof is is in the subsequent posted tweets that all mentioned Jill Stein, Clinton drone public enemy #1.

I'd say Coates ethered him, but West ethered himself by not even reading the book he popped shyt on. That's an auto loss.
West been a disgraced former intellectual for over a decade now, it's not surprising he's swinging at the wind and embarrassing himself.

At the end of the day, Coates just sees himself as a popular down to earth author who writes and speaks on racial/societial
He's not a politically connected academic at major Ivy-League institutions.
West is kinda looking
status these days.
I don't understand how you can be an Ivy league professor that shyts on a Howard drop-out author because you claim he's too "elitist". That argument looks incredibly flimsy in the light.

either way, his conduct is a complete sucker punch
I don’t know what world you’re living in but this isn’t true at all. Blacks are actually more off-code than ever before. Millions of blacks will be ducked by this tax plan and millions of blacks will eventually lose their health care. Those are two distinct detriments that have come with trump’s presidency. Clinton wouldn’t have pushed this tax plan thru and she wouldn’t have sabotaged health care. There’s nothing you can point to factually that backs up your “we better off under trump” bullshyt. That “we’re more on code with trump” shyt is flat out lie. We aren’t ready for what trump is doing and we’re going to bear the brunt of his administration.
On eve of Trump visit, African Americans in Mississippi say he’s brought back troubles of the past
The fact that you “Clinton would be no better than trump” clowns refuse to concede even after being proven wrong just illustrates how off-code we are. Cats are still putting ego over the truth and that’s a feminine characteristic. Even blacks that I respect are on this dumb shyt.
