It's about politics, his life as a Black man, racism, and the other things he thinks are important or funny *** Ta-Nehisi Coates writes a great, great blog for the Atlantic, http://ta-nehisicoates.theatlantic.com/ . It's about politics, his life as a Black man, racism, and the other things he thinks are important or funny. He joked a couple of days ago that if he doesn't send his white readers to Google once a day or so to figure out a phrase, he's not trying.
He ranges from this: " I'm here to announce the formation of DOPE (Distinguished Officials for Proper Ebonics) whose sole mission will be to prevent such abominable phrases as "You be da man." We have sat quietly by, during the era "Oh no she din't" and "Women, be shopping." We have endured the apostasy of Stuart Scott. ("Holla at a player if you see him in the streets!"). We can no longer be silent. The war is on."
to this : "I remember watching Tim Russert try to tie Obama to Farrakhan, and thinking, "Don't they know this dude has been paraphrasing Malcolm X? Why aren't they asking him about that?" Not that I'm in favor of any of that, but I think this is what fueled so much of the "he's not really black talk"--most white reporters don't really know what black is. And so while they were waiting for Obama call for reparations or another Back To Africa movement, the missed the subtle things."
