very good response

I'm slowly becoming a Coates fan
I'm telling yall man...dude is official

He's not clamoring for white audiences, and hes not running away from them either.

He stands on his own issue and he's not interested in giving people hope.

As long as you accept that there can be more than one black authors at a time, he SHOULD be good in your book.

He was damn sure pandering to whites with that bullshyt response to metoo. “I didn’t know it was that bad for y’all white women and now I understand how y’all didn’t know racism was that bad for us blacks” :camby: fukk outta here.

That's not what he was saying. But you want to play dumb.

nikka that's exactly what he just said, he equated the struggle of black ppl to white women getting out on the casting couch. fukk all these moist ass weak black liberals. if he was real he would say if y'all were getting treated like that by white men y'all should understand our struggle.

That’s exactly what he did. He compared white people’s supposed ignorance of racism to his own supposed ignorance of sexual harassment. Why are you lying when the video is there for anyone to listen to?
That's not what he said.

Cause we have the audio

He said even white people who are genuinely interested in combating racism don't understand how bad it really is.

That's the same as men and their views of sexual harassment.

Thanks obviously white people who don't care about fixing things aren't who he's talking about. Why would he? That shyt doesn't even make sense.

You're purposely ignoring it.

Quit acting like a whole bytch.

I’m actually reading ‘We Were 8 Years in Power’. It’s very interesting, I’ve been running through black history type books from all around the world.

He tiptoes around the truth for fear of offending the few liberal whites he's convinced himself of being genuinely remorseful for the privilege white surpremcy has given them. I don't fukk with Coates because I think he's a coward who's packaged a new black form of militancy that does nothing but empower the liberal wing of white supremacy.
