Reckoning With Harris' Silence On Gaza | Ta-Nehisi Coates | TMR

One of my favorite things is when Coates gets to turnaround and be the interviewer not just the interviewee in these things. It’s really something special

this why i f with the majority report...RIP Michael Brooks. dope interview

What makes Coates so special is his authenticity, thoughtfulness, and his clear intent to discuss these issues in good faith. Even when I disagree with him, it’s impossible not to respect his point of view, because of the qualities I mentioned above.

America needs a truth and reconciliation commission

That question of what is the value of a Black president if they have to mortgage their soul to get it made me feel.. deeply sad.

Love Dr Coates ❤. I'm his generation. Many of us have woken up at this point. Racism, empire building, exploitation are what fuel america.

Starting at 37:06 - I have made the SAME POINT to my students Coates. I don’t want the Black face to be used as the face of U.S. imperialism (as crazy as it sounds) or that we should somehow feel proud of these Black faces in high U.S. places. Glad to hear it from you.

The Dutch and British "India Companies" sacked South Asia and committed genocide in North America, United Fruit destroyed everything South of Mexico and Anglo-Persian Oil Company destabilized the entire Middle East. Mega-corporations have always had blood on their hands, and SO much of it.

I love Ta-Nehisi Coates and I love interviews where he is asked really thoughtful questions and not just the kind of slop questions he gets asked on CBS. This was a great conversation

I deeply appreciate how Coates will spend so much time writing about a question, and not pretend he has all or any of the answers.
