Great discussion. He made some excellent points in regard to actually studying the history of this country, specifically how the policies passed and the way they were enforced had a huge effect in disparity of wealth generation for whites and blacks.

yeah I watched this live. Coates is is a very smart guy.

The reality when it comes to racism, white supremacy, the struggle of being Black in America is an EXTREMELY complex one. If you haven't studied it, most likely you have no idea how deep and constructed it is.

Ta-Nehisi Coates is a legit intellectual everybody can learn from. He's always on point. The coli would be better off reading his columns in the Atlantic instead of dikkriding slapstick pseudointellectual shameless capitalist showmen who make shyt up like Tariq Nasheed and Umar Johnson.

Yes. I find that the race discussions on this board are ill informed due to posters's lack of exposure to people like Coates.
