Ta-Nehisi Coates dropping more gems on why blacks still getting screwed

[philmonroe]

Coates in the last few months has been pissing me off...its like he's trying to justify his own existence.

His book was weak and outside of that famous piece on red-lining, I really gotta wonder if he just doesn't like hearing his own voice at this point.

I think this happens with most famous people after awhile tbh.

But if one candidate exacerbates the problem, isn't that worth debating? If I'm correct states institute Judical policy, however it's federally funded. If Hillary Clinton has taken money from the private prison industry, how would you expect her to combat the conservative leaning states expansion use of private prisons? Essentially we're now adding a second problem, when we really don't need it.

Once again, who in the fukk in this article or the entire thread said fukk Sanders, support Clinton?

No one.

Please quit using this strawman.[/QUOTE]

Um did I say that, or did I highlight a potential problem with a Clinton presidency? You calling me a strawman, however your reading comprehension needs work. Btw, I noticed you didn't answer my question, so it's whatever.

Bernie's initial supporters came from places like Reddit which are hella hostile to black people and he has yet to check his supporters on their fukkery. He's putting votes over being right, which makes his a politician I shouldn't trust.


Loving how you're taking this out of context and that it was a response to angry white racists trying to tear down the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag and got mad when Bernie said it instead of #AllLivesMatter like they hoped. fukk outta here with your cac support.

1)Bernie's intiital supporters came from liberals who liked him prior to him announcing his support, and yes from Reddit, which as i've said on this site clearly has a racist/racially ignorant base (in fact one of MY first posts on this site as me linking about 10 threads with racism on Reddit), but as a regular user the way people on thecoli want to summarize the site like this is pathetic.
There's people from all across the political/ideological spectrum which also fits into Bernie's base on it, which means everything from bleeding hearts to republicans.
He doesn't need to "check" anybody, the Trump comparison is just ridiculous.
And what's this about "trust", he's a fukking politician what do you expect from him? If you can;t vote for Bernie than there's literally going to be no one that you can vote for ever.
2)Sorry, don't care, she was purposely trying to use race to bait negative reactions, no if and's and buts about it

Because Hillary isn't the topic of discussion. You want to talk about how Hillary is , make a thread for it. This aint the place.

I almost stopped reading at "Lincoln's "embrace" of Abolition got him shot in the head". Lincoln didn't embrace a goddamn thing, he said himself if he didn't HAVE to free not one single slave he wouldn't have. fukk Lincoln.

You can't bait something you were already getting, the picture was a response to the hate being recieved. You have your cause and effect backwards as fukk, but of course you're looking for a cac savior so you can fondle his old balls while you cradle his shaft in your throat.

 

[Aufheben]

now this makes him seem like a pure shill or at least just very ignorant

it's not up for debate that socialist policies, or rather New Deal liberal policies would help black people in very significant ways ways

you will no eliminate racism with policy alone but education, social security and healthcare is good fukking start

This is very true. Lincoln even said "If I could save the Union without freeing a single slave, I would."

I'm looking to exercise my right to vote by voting for a candidate who I think he is the best.
I'm sorry that something as simple as that is looking for a "cac savior", do you have a job or have you worked for white people? Are they your "cac" daddy?

 

[Red Shield]

No it isn't. Coates "thing" is that America can be "reformed" if cacs would address it not "America must be abolished"

How do you think america is going to be abolished?

How do you think america is going to be abolished?

I don't see it happening in our lifetime

Black Lives Matter is in a position of becoming a political party at this point.

Nope. BLM doesn't even have major pull with a majority of Black folks.
