I'd actually be interested in reading his thoughts about race in Paris and Europe. Maybe he's busy working on the Black Panther comic book.


I've been to a comiccon...lots of white people...I mean really-really-really white. Probably whiter than Obama's 2012 election headquarters. I wonder what Ta-Nehisi Coates will do if white people like the Black Panther comic? I wonder if he feels safer back home in a black neighborhood that he grew up in and was terrorized by black people or safer in a room full of (white)neck-beards?


Interesting dude.

I think what I remember most distinctly about him, was when I got into a tit-for-tat with him in the comments section of the atlantic. I asked him some question, and his response was unequivocally that he did not care what any white people thought about anything.

I thought this was an odd thing to say for someone who is (supposedly) trying to foster better mutual understanding of racial issues.

Even under "oppressive" white man rule, you're still better off living in America than in Africa.

Those comment sections in the Atlantic were great! They don't allow many comments on his articles anymore. His ideas would get destroyed.

Your post is deleted because you cant post a link with no comment on it as the OP. I have many problems with the way mods work but in this case they are simply following the TOS.

(Ask me how I know, but I learned)

Shhh...don't tell them that. Let them believe that Africa is a utopia unspoiled by the evils of the White Man.
