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.
I'm saying!!!!

Its like damn...we got like 5 black authors people give a fukk about now he's gotta do the plumbing AND the gardening too.

What the fukk!?!?!

All of these nikkas are fighting for the right to be the white liberal establishment favorite Negro. I call them "Enlightened" Negros, we have a bunch of them even here on the Coli.

None of them give a fukk about your black ass, they are cacs as far as I'm concerned.

I criticize dudes like Tariq and especially Umar at times (honestly I'm very anti-Umar), but they are miles ahead of any of these liberal establishment "enlightened" Negroes when it comes to being "pro-black"

Cannot believe Black people listen to dusty intellectual masturbating socialites like Cornel West or Ta-Nehisi Coates still.

Both are irrelevant to Black society.
Coates literally did more for societal discourse with one article about reparations than West did in his entire career.

The point about Coates giving WS power is motivated by leftists who are uncomfortable with the reality of white working class people who identify with their race over their class. They think that if people remove focus on WS we can start focusing on some post racial class analysis. The worst of the criticism is about pessimism, I never got why Progressives think pessimism about race relations is some huge thing when there have been these frequent flashpoints like Trayvon or Tamir Rice and many surveys showing how different races view those events. Neoliberal has also been run into the ground about now, such a catchall phrase used to describe a disparate group of people.

I knew Coates was full of shyt when he started pushing that lbgt and black feminists bullshyt then jumped on Obama nuts. He also supported Hiliary. Dude fetiszhes black pain for white people who enjoy feeling white guilt and think reading his articles is them doing work to end white supremacy.

I DARE someone to call West out on this shyt.

As a former military contractor I agree with Cornell West... especially when it comes to the military industry complex which Obama help empower even more

The disagreement between Coates and me is clear: any analysis or vision of our world that omits the centrality of Wall Street power, US military policies, and the complex dynamics of class, gender, and sexuality in black America is too narrow and dangerously misleading. Soit is with Ta-Nehisi Coates’ worldview.

The Jacobin Twitter crowd hates Coates for his "narrow and myopic" focus on race to the exclusion of a leftist economic critique of capitalism. A certain sub set of the intersectional feminists crowd hates Coates because his writing isn't intersectional or takes into account other marginalised groups. fukk both of them.
