Coates is a legendary author but I'll always know him for his epic Black Panther comic run.
It was EXCEPTIONAL. I remember visiting the Smithsonian Museum of African American History and Culture during my freshman year of college and buying two of the comics for my brother. The same year I got my first Coates book.
Was that the intergalactic empire of Wakanda arc?
What makes Coates an exceptional writer and social commentator is his willingness and drive to lean into the gray area in interpersonal conflicts and moral issues. The premium he places on clarity is why one can honor his work even without sharing all of his views.
I sure would have appreciated a peak into why the title of the book, and a small glimpse into what message, if any, he brings forth, in this book? This seemed as much a promo for Howard Univ., than for his new book. If he has a message, who is it for? Black people sure need some solutions, to the problems that we alone are responsible for. Coates has taken a hiatus from the country, and so I hope he used that time to reflect on much of our (Black people's) problems - the ones we actually have some control over, rather than those the woke seem only to focus on/care about, which we have little to no power, to do anything about. Yes I said woke! What ever happened to the idea among us of calling a spade a spade? It the woke can call for the abolishing of police and prisons, knowing it will do more to galvanizing the Right more than Black people and the Left, then why can't wokeness be critiqued, just because it will be used by the Right, as more validation for their opposition to wokeness? Judged by the standards of the woke among us, people like Jessie Jackson and Louis Farrakhan, are anti-Black, simple because they have historically called on Black people to have self-esteem and personal responsibility/agency. The woke see any Black person who would criticize anything any of us may do, with blaming the victim. Coates or someone like him - old enough, but also young enough, to have a more balanced generational perspective - needs to get all the living elder leaders/advocates for us, to put on the record, their ideas, of where and how, we went wrong, as a group/people, in our historic struggle for a life, of a true citizen of this country. They know all the history of this period, and it must be recorded as accurately as possible, so future generations can learn the lessons of past mistakes, we have yet to learn. I wish that were Coate's message.

@@KarenMcMillan Care to share your thoughts on any of them, or any specific thing I've said?
Brilliant man🔥
Thank U 🙏🏾

He’s a great writer; very poetic and a way with words.
But his books are too ideological and pedantic. No surprise he’s a professor.
Because they’re true?
Had to look up the meaning of pedantic. One definition is - giving too much attention to small details. As for dealing with the problems we (Black people) as a group face, if I must pick between the extremes of small details vs. what equates to generalizations, I'm picking the poison pill of too much of small details. I think a major problem we have is, that too many of us think of fundamental aspects of living and being a part of society, as minor details.
@@siriuslyspeaking9720 bro you need to relax on this victim mentality. Travel a bit more and see what real oppression in the present looks like.
FYI - please stop calling or “black people.” Africans cannot relate to African Americans at all.
More of the same, everyone is either oppressor or oppressed. I actually read this guy’s books until he opened his mouth about the so-called apartheid.
Why did you read them before
You could have kept your ignorance under wraps but decided to make it public. Good job.
So called??????
@@Salvador2237 you decided to join the sheep way of thinking
@MrDandaman2000 Interesting, because Ta-Nehisi's writing criticizes US government policy for the last 80 years and attacks the establishment, while you roll over and passively agree with what your politicians have said because billions of dollars of bribe money have paid them to say it. Doesn't that make you the sheep?
I'm glad that Ta is talking about apart heid of the USA ally that i cannot speak of because TH-cam removes critical comments of that ally. The censorship is real.
