Ta-Nehisi Coates explores America's racial divide in new book 

I agree. I think they’re attacking him!

@@dianalinares9037 only in America where basic questioning can be labeled as an "attack" SMH. I'm black btw since that seems to matter for some reason to people in 2020

Then you’re just as naive like everyone else for believing a racist book is a piece of art.

Me too

You love this racist and call a whole group of people “the devil” no sir. Pray for the Love of Christ to enter your heart. You don’t need to listen to the racist snake named Tanahesi.

The 'devil'?

I read it, I'm white and this guy is narrow minded fool.

wow. pretty racist guy. everything is skin color. would be nice to see people judge others by the content of their character.

Except that he has no evidence for his claims.

@W Towns he has to say that being terrified of having to one day, compete head up , against blacks...his privilege that non blacks have not lived without for one second, errodes as we speak....

@W Towns There's no evidence that black men, per capita, are killed by police more frequently than are white men.

@@couldbe8348 You should check a different news outlet that actually tells you the true statistics of our reality. We co-exist yet you are fed information that undermines stories like Coates to absolutely nothing, disheartening bc it shows you have no empathy for another human. Don't be so narrow-minded and polarized as well with your thoughts. Simply look at our mass incarceration system (new jim crow) and tell me who do you see more so in prison? THat will maybe help you be more understanding of a situation and life of black folks in America.

literally!

did you ever find it?? i'm still curious

+Nikkia Lamar ROFFFLLLL!!!! A dime-a-dozen racial hustler. No wonder your race is doomed. You put light-weight imbeciles like Coates on pedestals. Jesus H Christ. My country is done.

Our race is doomed? No other race on earth has perpetuated the violence on this earth like yours has... U might have this modern world now... But one day you will pass away and you will see the creator of all things. You will have to answer for the hatred you show to people, who had been victimized by a government statutes for 350 years.. I hope you'll have a sufficient reply.. I pray for your soul that u make it right before you meet your maker..

We all share the same race

It's true when you look at it the work they've NOT done. In fact the most damage done was when Clinton was in office slightly before he left office. After that the next Repuke Pres just needed to pile on the fucked up laws created. Democrats sat right there letting all this go on while taking the black vote for granted. Pres. Obama comes into office and they turn against him while their running for their seats in the House and Senate! He did little to help blacks but got blocked at damn near every turn. Harry Reid had a chance to help he opted not to change this nonsense played games. IMO I agree Democrats and Republicans are the same no difference in black life either way. Only a few democrats and one republican want to do their job the rest are suppressing them and getting paid for not working.

he's only 43yrs old......

The fact that he doesn’t sugar coat reality with a positive uplifting ending does not inherently make his book bad. I suspect you only hate the book because you were forced to read it for english and you never actually got past the first couple paragraphs. Even if that’s not the case, his novel is most definitely not “just him venting” or any similar dumbing-down of the man’s work. Between the World and Me is very well written and Coates has deserved all the renowned praise he’s received since its publication.

Always denial with you people.

that’s a stupid comment to make

You're not used to seeing a black man speak with such quiet confidence and dignity on national TV. So it seems like a threat.
