re: Cornel West: Ta-Nehisi Coates is the neoliberal face of the black freedom struggle

quote:

Cornel West hasn't read TNC at all if this is his takeaway. He's just an old man jealous of losing the "black leftist intellectual" spotlight.

This is an absurd take. West is right, coates knows obama did all these things and still calls him a deeply moral man.

Coates is a one trick pony, who wedges everything into white supremacy. He is a hero to white liberals for a reason. And every time a black intellectual points out the major flaws in his narrative, they are dismissed in exactly the manner you did above. Because blacks have no agency if they disagree with liberals, a truth repeated consistently.
