We speak with Ta-Nehisi Coates, whose new book The Message features three essays tackling the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, book bans and academic freedom, and the legacy of the transatlantic slave trade. The Message is written as a letter to Coates's students at Howard University, where he is the Sterling Brown Endowed Chair in the English department. As part of the research for the book, Coates traveled to Senegal and visited the island of Gorée, often the last stop for captured Africans before they were shipped to the Americas as enslaved people. Coates also visited a schoolteacher in South Carolina who faced censorship for teaching Coates's previous book, an experience he says showed him the power of organizing. "That, too, is about the power of stories. That, too, is about the power of narratives, the questions we ask and the questions we don't," Coates says of the community's response.

At first James Baldwin supported Israel because of the way it was presented to him. Then after he went there and saw the reality of Palestinians in the occupied territories, he became a vocal critic of Israel. Of course they used the worn out tactic of slandering him as being antisemitic, but that didn't stop him from speaking the truth.

A voice of truth and compassion to cut through the madness
I have to buy this book
Yes, hurry to be indoctrinated.
@@Walter-x1jscared of the truth?
@@Jehntosh No, just know the history. And you are not.
@@Walter-x1j The only one being indoctrinated is a person who thinks reading books is indoctrination.
Why are you, bot?
@@Walter-x1j you know nada, bot.

thank you ta-nehisi coates. you are amazing and doing such important work. 🙏 thank you.
"The other". Even Sartre said it was one of the hardest thing to undo or get rid of.
That is why you should travel to see the realities
Will T’Nahesi Coates get an even broader audience on the MSNBC major programs in the evening weekday shows and on the world news tonight programs on the three major networks?
The message needs to reach a broader audience.
And a more deep dive, detailed discussion needs to be broadcast in order for the majority of people to understand what is going on.
The information he provides is not new and has been reported on countless times over the decades by other public intellectuals and writers.
No. The message of a racist carpet bagger has no valid audience. What a joke.

Ta-Nehisi's remarks about being asked by the Israeli solder what his mother's, grandmother's and great grandmothers religion was is what's at the heart of this whole tragedy. Read what Wikipedia has to say about "race". It's a SOCIAL CONSTRUCT. It's not objectively real. The Israeli solder sees the world in terms of what "race" (or "people") you belong to --Jewish, Arab, Persian. etc.. so that was important for him to know. But the truth that science has known for 100 years(?) is that there is no such thing as "a race" or "a people". There's just the human species and the individuals of that species. Objectively, there is no "African people" or "Jewish people." All this killing is over BS in our heads.
The Jewish people are not just a religion but a family as well as a culture. What Coates doesnt understand is very simple. The Arabs in Judea Samaria or the "West Bank" arent citizens of Israel and dont want to be so of course they cant do all what Israelis can BUT the Arabs citizens of Israel CAN and DO. Did you know 35% of drs and 65% of pharmacists in Israel are Arab and that Arabs also serve in the Israeli army? It is easy to misinterpret what is going on but Coates simply doesnt understand the simple concept of citizenship.
excellent interview

Now this is an interview! It provided depth and understanding of his point of view .
Thanks brother
Coats is 💯 percent correct. I see this in our entire media landscape. It always feels to me like a prison. The macro story which was already a lie a told over and over again with the express purpose of recreating reality. Dehuminzing, dismissing, and reconsidering how power should be distributed. Thank you sir for your work!
Appreciate you.
Good job!!
Drawing an equation between I's treatment of the Palestinians to Jim Crow is like drawing a comparison between an assault rifle and a catapult. It is a trivialisation of I's brutal annexation of Palestinian land. Jim Crow did not involve almost a century of routine murder by the authorities, routine demolition of homes, routine theft of land by force, routine arrests followed by disappearance into dungeons with torture, did not involve checkpoints set up to delay ambulances and other movement between one place and another, and more. Some of those things may have taken place under Jim Crow but not as a matter of routine policy over almost a century.
I think he talks about Jim Crow , not to minimize the Palestinian experience but because that is the closest in time to his age. He could see elements of Jim Crow on his visit. I know you know his ancestors lived worst lives. Human suffering is bad and should not be compared.
Looks like a good book
Yes, full of lies, smears, incitement.
@@Walter-x1jLies are what the Republican Party are made of.
Ta-Nehisi Coates, 👏👏✊
How can i encourage him to write about the catocin furnace iron workers who were stolen for their skilled labor

great coverage thank you very much
Amazing that Coates calls out Kamala's violence and vileness and Amy scoffs at it and avoids discussing Kamala's role in the genocide. Only mention Trump...like good DNC liberals.
Ta-Nehisi was celebrated and admired by Democrats as long as he was writing and speaking about the race issue only. The when he took on the Palestinian issue and pointed out the apartheid and genocide of Israel the Left changed its tune in a second flat .According to this interview it looks like he support Kamala yet Kamala stand solidly for Israel and approved more shipments of bombs and money to Israel. Somehow that does not make sense.
Not 'the Left'
Just to be clear, comrade
Because she, at the very least, isn't ideologically linked to Isreal like Biden is. She's only appearing that way because she's his VP that has to delegate what the President decides for her to do.
Do not vote for either party they are both for genocide.
Um what?
He understands that our more vulnerable communities in America will be far better off under a Harris administration than a Trump one.
✌🏿✌🏻❤️🙏🙏🏿😇😇
There is a strange relationship between ridiculous and lethal that should be studied!
Makes me think of the character, The Joker.
✌️❤️🙏😇
Thank you for this interview
17:19 seeing that on both sides of the isle
🙏
It's not comfortable to know that u can win thru hate
Is his name really pronounced “Ta-ni-HA-see”? It isn’t spelled that way.
I have been there! Ich bin ein Gorean
In our MILLIONS and our BILLIONS we are ALL Palestinians! ALI ALI ALI ALI
All win ?all together mine fell and love all win
Negligent Now the Israel news only show.
What about all the protests
En ESPAÑOL PARA AMÉRICA LATINOAMÉRICA!!!
Feall and love?
Who is or was "Warren Pearce" and why do they keep dedicating their reports to him?
LOL! Car Talk fan?
Both candidates fit the same description. As lethal as they are ridiculous. Free Palestine.
When did Harris say that the blood of non white immigrants will poison your nation's blood? Get outta here with that bothsiderism.
🇵🇸🦬💙❤️
Harris Angela Anderson Christopher Rodriguez Amy
All win all know?true win ?all felling like
some people at CBS are in real trouble for pushing back against this guy's antisemitism...
Anti-zionism isn't anti-semitism.
Was there an official military occupation in the US South? Jim Crow was terrible, but is it comparable? I’ll have to read the book.
Are you seriously asking if military force was used to enforce segregation? Because yes.
The police
@@erinrenman1479 I was not aware that it was the US army that was enforcing Jim Crow laws. One does not have to excuse the outrage of Jim Crow, to know that the level of repression is much greater in Palestine, and it is the Israeli national military which is doing the enforcing over there. Maybe, a closer parallel would be with apartheid South Africa.
Not US military but Jim Crow was enforced by state governments, local and state police.
During Enslavement And After They were enforcing IT. Laws policies and everything In Between. What Don't You Get!!!
Let's see if he can debate Douglas Murray or Victor Davis Hanson. Showing up on DN is easy for Ta-Nehisi Coates.
You mean a couple of racists who use ugly emotion instead of logic and facts?
This guy is mental
Explain your comment otherwise it is just a claim without value.
In 1968 people were protesting when Humphrey secured the nomination without primaries….now people celebrate it….disgusting
race baitor
Give me a break
Race grifter gonna grift. Wasn’t this guy disgraced? 🤔
Only in the imaginations of the ignorant. Out here in reality? No.
Is Ta-Nahesi an African dialectical phrase for "race grifter"?
I stand with isreal ...yall stand with communist
Must be hard to remain so ignorant.
You mean you support apartheid and Zionism say it with your chest.
@@greo909 oh you mean common sense yeah it's comes easy
OP sick puppy
@alviescott8676 again you are not that bright. Are you putting triple A batteries in, when you need D batteries?
Great interview
