I said before it is silly for these black intellectuals to go at each other.

Second you can get on west for supporting Jill Stein. But lets not act like he was supporting Trump. Stein was a green party individual and many folks supported her instead Trump or Hillary.

Also West has never supported Trump he has called him a neo-facist and been calling him out for at leat the last year.

I got my issues with West but folks need to be accurate.


OP was a big Trump supporter

Not in disagreement with West. Coates' tortured prose is masturbatory fatalism that paints blacks as helpless and at the mercy of white liberal saviors. And his embrace of Obama is yet another example of the danger our community faces when we allow biracial tokens of the white power structure to masquerade as black and become our representatives.

When does having criticism of Obama makes you not a liberal shill? The man praises Obama and even compared him to fukking Malcolm X.

I did read wrote what he wrote at The Atlantic and the fact that he wrote at fukking The Atlantic is even more damning...

Coates is a liberal...Coates is establishment.

Coates is literally a translator of Black people for White liberals that live in San Fran, LA and New York City. That's his job.

He's a liberal to the core and I like reading his shyt but he's a liberal nutholder.
How does he Praise Obama?

I mean Jesus Christ. He LITERALLY does not Praise Obama.

Coates didn't ask to be embraced by white people.

West hates anyone who ISNT him. Dyson tried warning you fools.

It's quite ironic that West would label Coates the neo liberal face of the black freedom struggle when he and brother Tavis went on a poverty tour sponsored by that super woke and socialism advocating Wells Fargo--which sold more sub prime loans to blacks than any other lender but hey, can't knock the hustle. Secondly, West himself is a kept radical, the man teaches at fukking Princeton but we are to believe that he's some sort radical prophet when he castigates the elite while teaching their children?
:heh:
The supreme irony is that he's the safest sort of radical, teaching at elite institutions while rubbing shoulders with the limousine progressive elite at fundraisers and Democracy Now! tapings.
Lastly, he wants Coates to be more intersectional, which itself is a farce, one man cannot possibly intelligently comment on every struggle nor can he reasonably be expected to do So. This is all so hilarious since Coates has usurped West as premier black public intellectual, a role West resents Coates for since he used to be the go to for radical whites who wanted to overtly virtue signal that they understood the black struggle. shyt is just hilarious that he wants to engage in a petty slapfight over who's white people's favorite go to black intellectual when there is literally a wolf at the Gates.

Michael Eric Dyson came at him first by writing this long ass essay in The Republic...

When your entire livilhood is based on translating Black People for White liberals...shyt gets serious when White liberals move on from you...

The whole career of a public Black intellectual is based on about 5 things

1. Getting the support of Black people.
2. Getting the attention of White people.
3. Saying controversial things that gets the applause of Black people but the awe of White people.
4. Making White liberals feel like they are staring into the soul of Black people by listening to you or reading your writings.
5. Getting the approval of the Democratic Party and a sitting Democratic President.
Show me one thing Coates did to openly pander to white people.

He writes, and white people happen to buy his shyt.

In fact, the criticism conservatives have of him is that he DOESNT offer hope.

You can't keep twisting this shyt.

This is in line with the disingenuous Coates hate agenda.
