As pro Obama as he is, why r you surprised?
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.
I been off Twitter for a couple days and based off the tweets here a need to stay off.
None of them addresses the, just attacks Dr West
The Age of Adhominem is here 2 stay
How does he Praise Obama?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.
Show me one thing Coates did to openly pander to white people.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.
