The Appalling Attack Against Ta-Nehisi Coates on CBS is a Massive Media Fail!
#cbs #donaldtrump #gayleking #cbsmornings #ta-nehisicoates
I will be studying this for a while. The way Coates MONKEY-STOMPED that man’s “straw men” to death….I need to be THAT when I grow up.✊🏾
...I know, just look at the Body language and facial expressions.on Tony Dokoupil, he came iN upset.🤯🤣😐🤫😉
“Apartheid is either right or it’s wrong” Ta-Nehisi Coates
That's a shirt/sweat shirt.
Not me literally designing a custom sweatshirt on Amazon while tuned in🎉😂
you honestly have no come back from that line. That is called checkmate.
@@kashondarex-haywood8844I want mine today!!!!
@@deemo7868 is murder always right or wrong?
The host is saying in that clip "so if we take everything you say out of context, we would have the right to slander you as an extremist. Case closed."
He's right.
Can we talk about how this attempted ambush transpired with two black hosts present? While it's not their job to defend or protect Coates, it's absolutely their job to ensure balance and fairness. I'll give Nate a soft pass because he's the junior cast member. But Gayle is the senior one and actively attempted to interrupt Coates' legitimately stated argument. (And hats off to Coates for interrupting HER, in turn, and proceeding with his point!)
@quinnmurph2750 she always does that. She also called us a "post racial society" after Obama was elected...as if one election was all it would take.🙄
The Black people in establishment media have been a disappointment throughout this conflict. Our oppression and enslavement was justified to the normal people through these media institutions just like this.
THAT'S HOW YOU ANSWER A RACIST!
They TRIED it. He was ready for them tho. He was READY.
And he did not lose his cool! Awesome.
He was ready!!!!!
That’s how it’s done indeed.
When you speak truth, you ain't gotta be ready, you just gotta be heard.
My goal is to have this calm AT ALL TIMES in moments like this while responding to ignorance.
Unfortunately that hateful man is not ignorant. He knew exactly what the assignment was: discredit Mr. Coates because he dared to add himself to the chorus of voices who are horrified at what is being done to the Palestinians by Israel. It also bothered me to no end that those two other black interviewers stayed quiet or try to burry him along when he pushed back against that genocide apologist.
I also think the host was laying out a warning to others that speaking in a critical way about Israel would bring negative consequences. There is always a threat in that type of language. Especially in that regard, I find Tony disgusting.
@@tomtruett7625 Tony is disgusting for many reasons.
"Every country establishes its right exist through force, like America did..." Even Nate had to nod to that one (even just for a quick second)!
He's definitely gonna sell books, because I've bought a few!!!
Me too! I didn't want to purchase from Pilgrims so I got on the train for the ride uptown to purchase a few from a bookstore owned by us! There aren't many Black owned bookstores left in NYC though.
@@Bklyn112👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
You got somebody (a black man) across the table from you who is free. And he happened to be more than ready for this clown’s propaganda hijacking. A masterclass on how it’s done.
I'm buying his book.
Ta-Hehasi was amazing in this interview, he handled the interviewer so well and stellarly talked down that racist attitude! And Gayle and coworker just sitting there saying nothing. SMH
I`m glad Gayle and Nate said nothing. That dude needed to feel that hot smoke with no cool water talking points from said coworkers.
They are pitiful on the issue of race.
King has been on the fence for quite some while. She chooses when she wants to be like us and when she doesn’t. She is not authentically like us.
I was looking to see the discussion of Coates book and it got hijacked over one section due to Tony Dokoupil and his political leanings. He has a right to his beliefs, but it was a set up from the beginning with the two Black hosts, King and Burleson set off to the side like lawn jockeys for a display: Well, we had two Black people up there too! That was more for optics than anything. It’s inexcusable! It was a such a supremacist display of power over a book that was dealing with Coates travels and experience of the world that CBS itself should be ashamed. Dokoupil basically accused Coates of producing work that if stripped down of his credentials would place him as a terrorist. Such a calculated but poor choice of words. As much as has happened to Black folks in this country there would be no justification for us wanting the genocide of White people. That would taint our own. You don’t want that on your conscience or riding your children’s conscience. Karma is a ... And at the end Dokoupil had the nerve to tell him you’re still invited to the high holidays i.e. you’re still a good boy as if he were a dog. This was too much playing in Black folks’ face!
Some folks making 6 and 7 figures are not Free. They have sold themselves for the almighty dollar.
Absolutely!!@@MichelleHeaden-r4k
So much this, @Blkwolf676
If master says to keep quiet, then that's what you do. King and Nate. SMH.
“Either Apartheid is right or it’s wrong” That is what you call dropping the 🎙️ mic. He shut his ass down! For here on out that is the question. “ Do you accept Apartheid?” It’s that simple . Yes or No!
I am now addicted to your channel. I love your insightful take on issues. From Abdoulie John 🇬🇲🇬🇲🇬🇲
I know that's right! I love this channel, Karen is an esteemed educator!
She pays attention.
Thank you, Abdoulie! I appreciate this.
The ambush is not the issue, but the continued framing by the media to paint anyone who criticizes the Israeli government as anti-Semitic. South Africa and Bosnia and Herzegovina had the world giving sanctions for their apartheid and ethnic cleansing behavior. Israel does have the right to defend itself, but it appears to be defending itself to ethnically cleansing an entire population of people who feel voiceless.
Also this conflict did not start on Oct 7th, the apartheid has been going on for decades before
Israel doesn't have the right to defend itself as the aggressor according to international law. South Africa didn't have the right under the same law. Any nation that practices genocide doesn't have that right.
Genocide is illegal:
The Genocide Convention explicitly prohibits genocide, classifying it as a crime against humanity, meaning no state can claim the right to commit it under any circumstances.
I got my book yesterday……. And cannot wait to talk about it…. With you. Yes, he did ambush him and them two did nothing…..
THAT was not okay, regardless of political view: "Dude, you're calling the man a terrorist?"
If anyone expected those two speak up then clearly they don’t know Gayle King! I further believe Nate felt like Coates could handle Tony! And Coates did just that!
Freedom looks different when you have bestsellers and a MacArthur Fellowship. . We need more of this and less Van Jones and Shaun King.
Powerful, Karen!! Thank you. I’m sure you know you just gave writers-gifted, blessed, called to change the world through WORDS writers , a Master’s WRITING SEMINAR on how and WHY to do so. Church! this fine Sunday morning. 👏🏿 ❤
I will be purchasing the book, Blessings Brother Coates!
Definitely out of line!!! The other 2 sitting there looking crazy!! I'm not a fan of Gayle!!
Gayle has stated she is not in favor of reparations for American Descendants of Slavery.
I am no fan of Gail and Gail is no fan of black people. I heard they just renewed her contract. Why?
Because, although she is not for black people, unfortunately for her, she is black and suits their agenda.
Coates lays it out like it should have been laid out a year ago. We don’t speak when we are afraid to personally lose
Something. Thats why I was glad when I left corporate America to start my own law firm. I am now untethered.
AND Professor Ta Nehisi is so humble, so respectful, he hasn't lost (those boyish charms developed in the environment of mom&dad) thank the heavens, because there isn't a time these traits have not served him well. Hugs TN, love, peace, soul.
How wonderfully said. ❤
Shortly after the CBS interview, an "apartheid" search on TikTok violates the community guidelines. 🤔
Wow
Is that true.
@@QUACOSTREET It depends on where you live or the VPN you use.
interesting...
Now Here Comes the Backlash, Hit Pieces, and Allegations.
I saw Tony Dokoupil interrogating Ta-Hehisi Coates, relentlessly implying he was against Israel, while the other two sat there silent as if Mr. Coates was on trial. Coates obviously feels empathy for those outside of his ethnic/cultural group... AKA "fellow humans" and I respect him for speaking up on their behalf. If I was being slaughtered, I would want someone to speak up on my behalf if my cries fell on selectively deaf ears.
When is Benny going to jail is my question. Donny and Benny need to be cellmates.
"I AM MORE CONCERNED WITH THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO SPEAK."
The irony: Ralph Bunch, an African American was the architect of the two-state solution. Some folks have forgot.
yes...you are so right. We have no memory or connection to the past and that's our failing. we must do better.
It's A-mazing, Tony, who converted to Judaism in 2014, verbally attacked Mr. Coates on air. Meanwhile, Gail and Nate said NOTHING. They were useless as the moderators for the 2nd presidential debate.
Mr. Coates gave a master class on his birthday. Thank you Brother Coates❤🤗
CBS Tony Dokoupli accidentally sold more copies of Ta-Nehisi Coats Book then intended.😏
I bought two. One for me, and one for my Zionist-sympathizing friend
AND MADE HIMSELF LOOK FOOLISH, IGNORANT, AND A CRUEL APARTHEID APOLOGISTS
Good points Karen
the opening q (well, lets say, statement that he is writing for terrorists) was insane and disgusting. i wouldve made a statement, gotten up and left. but Coates is a better, smarter man
Thank You! South African Apartheid did not end by Not Talking about it. It’s way pass time to acknowledge and call out Israel’s Apartheid!
Yes it was out of line ….
Watching Tanehesi perform rhetorical Judo here made me want to re watch any James Baldwin debates
Not one journalist in the bunch! Right out of the gate Nate misquoted him. Next up is unobjective and unprofessional Tony. Gayle brings it home by interrupting him, trying to finish his sentence and then doing a hatchet job wrap up. Epic fail.
How did Tony Dokoupil, a Ukranian Jewish-American, resolve in his mind to question Ta-Nehisi Coates before he questioned his own support for the Ukrainian independence and Israeli apartheid? For millenia, Israel was safe for Jews until the Jewish diaspora decided to endanger the sovereignty of the neighboring states. Don't start none; won't be none.
Yes they ambushed him...but he gathered him all the way together...respectfully.
Maybe Black journalist who were afraid to say something about what Israel has been doing can come out of the dark now. Ta-Nehisi has kicked down the door. Or you can continue to be like the other 2 Black's in the room sitting silent 🤔
Whenever you walk into an interview and see Gayle King. As a black person, get the hell out of their.
😂😂😂.
I was thinking the same thing!!
tony needs a vacation! for him to think that his opinions matter to a writer who wrote from FIRST HAND OBSERVATION and RESEARCH. not only that, the 'backpack' comments was TOTALLY out of line.
THANK YOU for this call to action! If we are *free* and have a platform then we owe it to ourselves and those that came before us to "make it make sense". YOU do that for us Karen Hunter.
Courageous Black Man Truth was TOLD
Life is REAL it ain’t
Disney world
This book has 3 sections at least they could have spread the questions. Was an ambush
He asked questions and then inserted answers
Yes, Gayle King big mouth was mighty quiet on this interview. She ALWAYS got a mouthful to say against Black men on that show. I think the cat got her tongue.😸👅🤣
Black men whose arguments are morally flawed or intellectually weak. Tanahasi was neither!
Ummm no, they often do that by themselves.
That host is Jewish and his ex-wife and kids live in Israel currently. He is too biased to do this interview.
Ta-Nehisi gathered them fools!
I am BLACK and MUSLIM
FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸 FROM OPPRESSION
6:53 I have strong feelings on this and as i was watching it it's like Ms Hunter was reading my mind. Because so many may want to speak up, but the ability that the minority has to take away your livelihood for any critique is very much real.
I'm going to give the other cohosts the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps, they allowed their colleague to ask a difficult question because they knew Coates could handle it. He gave a good, coherent answer.
Or perhaps they ascertained that their position on the show is completely dependent on their ability to be milquetoast and tap dance non stop.
Or perhaps they ascertained that their position on the show is completely dependent on their ability to be milquetoast and tap dance non stop.
Nope. They knew better than that. SMH
Two black bookends sat silent for the most part. The demand for whiteness to be centered was on display.
Yes , Coats ate them up.
I was reading a book called The Birth of Black America. The author explains something called Asiento where Spain licensed a person or group the right to control a certain aspect of trade within the empire-most infamously, this often related to the slave trade.
Funny, "asiento" means "seat" in Spanish. So that was literally giving capitalists "seats" at the table, reinforcing systems of control through giving away economic positions.
When I was in high school, I was walking my dog. Gayle King was on the news in Missouri. I was so excited to meet her. I was so giddy and happy because I was considering broadcast journalism. She was the rudest. She was curt, distant, and arrogant. "You need to speak with your guidance counselor." She had this negative I'm better than you energy. It sickens me to think about her. Gayle is a weird sellout.
❤❤❤ the optics … I lead…U follow! “We the people” have determined the things U people can do! However false the leadership is.❤❤❤
Good everything Professor. Good to see Cena!
Seena Ghaznavi.
Long answer, yes!
For some reason, everyone is saying his name wrong, and it makes me flinch everytime. And its not just assholes being assholes.
I had to watch clips of Jon Stewart and Chris Hayes interviewing him to confirm I wasn't crazy.
Oh and screw the CBS hack, I don't even want to know its name
It is in fact pronounced Ta-na-HA-si.
You know what our people say about “if’s”-if it was a fifth, we’d all be drunk. I never seen or heard journalism like that before.
Yes it was
Great conversation❤
When they ask questions, we feel the need to give an answer. But until we start with answer and finish with our own questions and not budging until they get answered, we can not move any needle.
Putting black people up for this interview, like this would help Tony's optics, is hilarious.
This has to be the first time in broadcast history that Gayle did not interrupt or cut off a host/guest. She has no real substance.
PAY ATTENTION!!!✊🏿
Truth won that day over a weak-kneed gotcha moment. James Baldwin, who expressed similar concerns about Israel about 50 years ago after his revealing visit, met with similar responses.
“There is no shortage of that in the American media”. Big Slap 👋 on his smug face. Show me one time in the past year this media showed the suffering of the Palestinians, interviewed them, show their homes destroyed, families killed.
🗣💯 TRUTH
Throw the whole question away... It's a misnomer!
A lot of fails, breakfast club and now this one.
Tony forgot to mention that his ex-wife and his two older children live in Israel. He was biased.
I wish Ta-Nehisi criticized all the European governments and said, “You idiots were supporting Antisemitism and Anti-Jewish Sentiment for the past approximate 2,000 years. The Muslims helped out the Jewish people more than you all ever did.” I’m saying that as an unapologetic Mixed Colombian American Muslim. Ta-Nehisi as a right to feel disgusted and upset that our funds are hurting innocent people. It’s like telling a Native American, oh no bro, don’t worry we’re just going to take your land to harm innocent people. Ta-Nehisi Coats has the absolute right under the first amendment to speak his mind, especially if it’s in positive way.
Here in Wilmington DE
Gayle always has an opinion about everything but she is too quiet in this segment. However she had a lot to say when Kobe passed away. They planned to attack the guest.
There are and there have been people with access to microphones that have and still are speaking out on behalf of Palestinians. The issue is the heavily-funded media in the Global North argues their voices down or outright refuses to speak to them. Check out Zoteo, Middle East Eye, Al Jazeera, Dr. Suleiman of Yaqueen Institute, Dr. Haifaa Younis, Baasem Youssef, Owen Jones, Breaking Points, Prime Minister of Barbados, Malaysian Prime Ministers and many others around the world have are addressing their voices along with who I consider the most important on this non-comprehensive list, Bisan Owda, a young journalist in Palestine showing the atrocities of the war as well as the countless journalists that targeted and killed within the last year in Palestine and now Lebanon. I beseech thee to bring these people on to talk to them and have a conversation with them.
"You had a meeting. And one of you read the book." SAY THAT, Professor. And yes - the other people of color at the table are VERY silent.
economics not tied to owing, allows free mind to think and answer.
They fired Don Lemon. We’ll see if they’ll fire Tony for completely insulting and verbally assaulting a guest on the show to discuss their book which is their point of view. It was deplorable disgusting disrespectful, and vicious in the past Gail has not hesitated to defend Oprah, she sat there like a sycophant while Massah spoke and Nate the other sycophant even more bowed down.
Gayle always rides the fence…..
doing you a favor coming on your show, Ta Nehisi is going to get his attention!!! (We love him&Karen Hunter) and WILL Can sell his books
If Tommy had no respect for this black guest. On Columbia broadcasting station. How much respect they have for his co-host Is nate and gale ?
I heard the audio a very informative and powerful piece of literature I'm about to purchase a physical copy
Coates had the courage to speak the truth. What Tony and taskmaster Gayle King underestimated was the Coates would receive overwhelming support from fellow journalist.
Why was I most offended when Tony Dokoupil inserted "Muslim included" like wooohoo Palestinian was never ethnic exclusive that's how the Jews got the opportunity to infiltrate their community and their land in the first place.
it felt like an interrogation more than an interview.
Israel keeps taking Palestine land. What is a society to do if their land is taken. Would the land still be taken if Palestinians had bullets and not rocks.
Yeah, I saw that and called it as soon as Elroy or whatever it's name is started hemming 'n' hawing talking about taking his name off.
I think that, first, his name isn't Ta-NaHAsi. I think that it's supposed to be pronounced Ta-Ne HEsi. It's spelled Ta-Nehisi. Please just first, pronounce his name correctly. Next, the "Tony guy" was absolutely biased, off base and RUDE. But as we all saw, his inane rantings are a reflection of who HE is, not who he tried (in vain) to belittle.
All three host of that morning show failed at interviewing. One dominated the interview. The other 2 stayed silent. It was am ambush that backfired in their faces. Coates handled them greatly and stood on his beliefs.
Karen, can you have Chakabars on to speak on Congo. Palestine has black support, Africa has none....white supremacy is in Palestine and among arabs as well, jus sayin.
@5:25. I get the point you’re making Dr with the phrase “you can only die once”
But to be fair, let’s add nuance to the phrase, you can also die horribly. Immense physical pain, ruined reputation, blowback onto loved ones
Let me paraphrase what Prof. Hunter said......nobody loved Muhammad Ali until he could not speak anymore......for the record, I went to the funeral. Saw Mike Tyson, Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Billy Crystal. My heros are any man or woman who is not afraid of Amerikkka. I will add Mr. Coates to my exclusive list.
Tony never wanted to see Coates point of view. He was only considered with the people of Israel. He was bias the entire time while calling Coates an extremist.
Tony was so upset the he could get Coates out of character. He thought once he callec his extremist he had but he gather himself. Tony didn't want to give him credit for the research that he did and witness with his own eyes. This entrapment was epic failure expect for that fact Coates will get book sales. I stop watching the show a long time ago. I Nate but I don't care for Gayle or Tony.
“Free black woman in America”…..🤔
The questions seemed biased. I don’t think they were ready for that level of response. Ta Nehisi said what he said and left zero crumbs. Crickets from others was 🤔
Jews cannot live in Iraq, Yemen, Saudi Arabia because they’re not Muslim, but nobody has an issue with that? Ain’t that the same thing brothers and sisters? Yes, it is just different religion.
The elephant in the room of black America is why are we not holding our presidential candidates to the same standard? Folk ain’t ready for that though…
Folks are ready for that but folks are also well aware of how ignorant people are and they know we need to make sure a candidate wins that can be HELD ACCOUNTABLE...instead of kneecapping them and being left with a dictator...stay on code!
