His case on reparations is pure genius, enough said. And the fact that he is strongly immovable in his position on it and that he strongly advocates for it makes him an eternal enemy to
all cacs (liberal or conservative or leftist or otherwise), no matter what "liberal cac media" he puts his work for. All cacs are against reparations for black folks. That takes courage to stick to that.
Does he really make cacs feel safe? Dude says the country is basically irredeemably racist and he argues in favor of reparations.
I didn't like his hit piece on Sanders last year.
Nah people nuthugged Sanders a little too much just because he kept saying he marched in the 60's, thinking he's a demigod invulnerable to criticism because people are so desperate for a democratic leftist. Sanders is against reparations, too.
Even though he's a jew.
Coates was one of the few non-right wingers who put his feet to the fire and criticized him with soundness.
Him being an Obama apologist is kinda corny, though. He's way too analytical to be playing the sentimental game with a man who is (was) the leader of the empire.
But you can't deny his wit.
