Pretty irrelevant to where I live. Even so I've read more than enough black gripe stories. I also find it irritating that this is the guy who wants white people to pay black people trillions of dollars in "reparations."

Can you imagine the chaos? Months of alcohol fueled riots, people walking away from their jobs, buying luxury goods, and then ending up just as impoverished as they were before. Except for a clever minority that makese a killing of the stupidity of white liberals. It's disgusting and hateful idea.

No matter eloquent this fellow is I'm not buying into this modern guilt fest when I live in a country that never really had slavery and actually provided a good refuge for runaways and black loyalists. But of course I'm the evil white male who needs his privilege checked.

Yes it's shit. He also got BTFO by Steve Sailor.

Ta-Nehisi Coates, like the rest of The Atlantic, is firmly in the category "things middle class white people read because they think it makes them seem intelligent". Nothing he says hasn't been said thousands of times before in better ways. Coates has just become a brand, so people will praise his work as representative regardless of its actual merits. It's like how everyone pretends Cornell West is an intellectual - it fits the narrative even though it's clearly not true.
Read W.E.B. DuBois and Frantz Fanon. Everything after has just been rehashing their ideas.

Booker T Washington > W.E.B. DeBoyz

DeBoyz was just trying to ape the rich whiteys in Massachusetts, you can see his seething contempt for the Negro in everything he writes. Booker T knows his stuff.

I used to think like that too. I was an edgelord complaining about muh sjws and thinking victims of police brutality were asking for it. But I grew out of it. I learned to empathize with my fellow human beings. I learned others have it worse than I do. AndI hope you will too, one day.

Frantz Fanon is really good, I found his pitfalls of nationalism chapter (available online) about the failure of pan-africanism very interesting.

Wow, you've really inspired me with your harrowing story of self-discovery. From now on I will work hard to be a sanctimonious retard like you
