Change is inevitable...
West showed his true colors when he thought he was owed a seat at Obama's table, and was upset because he didn't understand how politics works in this country.
Coates should have recalled this and left dude to his own devices

West was completely right that a lot of Coates's analysis of the issues is too superficial. Coates has basically admitted that he's a writer first and a thinker second, and a lot of time he's writing opinionated shyt that is primarily meant to sound pretty rather than encapsulate the full complexity of the truth.
But West got too personal with it, and Coates had plenty of good points too. It was a stupid beef where personalities got in the way too much. They're both bright, they're both concerned about the struggle, and they're both a little too focused on self-promotion and their own place in everything.

Can’t stand West
For one, Coates wrote about everything West said he didn't.
Its worse cause his intersectional bullshyt gives cover to leftists who want to push that "white working class" bullshyt
Communism won't fix racism.
If theres paper to get, lets get it.
idk if it's a bytch move or a smart move to get off twitter. on one hand i don't really blame anyone since twitter is filled with ignorant bots with shytty agendas. on the other hand you letting the other side declare victory and call you a bytch.
maybe he shouldn't have been public about it. that look at me i'm quitting shyt is always kind of a lame move imo.

Also I hate it when people make it a point to dramatically delete their Twitter. It’s like the celebrity’s version of when someone on a random message board has one of those “I’m never coming back” posts...I read what they said back and forth and it wasn’t anything outside the bounds of typical philosophical disagreements between two intelligent people. He’s overreacting and it makes him look weak.
says a lot of what you think of twitter.Dude can't stand up to Cornel West on Twitter...but ya'll expect him to stand up to white supremacy

I don't get why he bounced, but Coates is NOT shy about calling out white supremacy.
Look at this shyt:
So called black writers basically playing the "economic anxiety" card just to shyt on Coates.
Racism May Have Gotten Us Into This Mess, But Identity Politics Can’t Get Us Out
Between the Black Body and Me
This is why I defend Coates. People jump through hoops to absolve white racism of causing ALL of this. Its not hardcore socialism thats coming to save you either.
