For some, ‘brilliant’ means someone excessively PC and obsessively disturbed in it’s apparent absence.
Someone both brittle and base in their amoral, self centered and machiavellian approach to life.

“No,” Coates said, to scattered laughter. “But I’m not the person you should go to for that. You should go to your pastor. Your pastor provides you hope. Your friends provide you hope.”

“I’m not asking you to make sh*t up,” Colbert interjected. “I’m asking if you personally see any evidence for change in America.”


In actuality, that was not a bad answer that Coates gave. I do not seek my hope in worldly things and worldly solutions. I seek them in God's answers and God's time.

Colbert was the one who gave a crummy response, that going to the pastor was about making things up, i.e. religion.

I’d like to kick Colbert’s teeth in... But that’s just me.

I hate to break the news to you Colbert, but Coates hates you too, because you are White.

Does “brilliant” mean something new nowadays?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Ta-Nehisi Coates.

A utopian liberal fascist of the first water is far from brilliant.

Ethnic and racial nationalism is a danger to the USA.
And peeps like Coates will see his movement armed.This is what his writing is about.

The USA is NOT a racist country. Some of the people in it are. That’s just the way the cookie crumbles.Americans will never accept totalitarianism under anyone to make a “perfect” nation, voting and fighting instead for freedom.

Dweebs like Coates are racists personified, race mongerers, shake down artists, carpetbaggers. And we gave then 8 years in power while they were bent on destroying America? They won’t ever get another chance.

So how to we view people like Coates?

This is a good read:

This is the same corrupt bubble these NFL protesters are living in. The left, through the entertainment industry and the media pushes these lies so much, these people that buy in to the lies think this is the norm in America. Problem for them, IT ISN’T. That’s why the racist themes pushed within the NFL blew up because the majority of Americans understand what they are pushing, is not true. Using an inappropriate time to protest, exposed all that.

America’s race relations was great till a certain Kenyan come along. No one thought anything of white privilege. Anyone that believes in our founding documents understand “All Men Are Created Equal” so the privilege belongs to anyone willing to work hard and try to create some prosperity for themselves, regardless of race. Leave it to that a-hole Colbert to continue to push the left’s lies.

I thought "brilliant" was dog whistle for "Guinness Stout."

But when Coates appeared on The Late Show Monday night, Stephen Colbert asked him to offer that hope — and appeared to be almost offended when Coates refused.

In your face D head! What else did you expect?

Colbert is an unfunny hack. Same for his racist guest.

I get along fine with people of different races. We are polite to each other and do our best to see past any differences we have. My work, my church, the marketplace.

Don’t need lectures from either of these clowns.

What a moron. If he thinks the USA is so horrible, why doesn’t he go somewhere else? Just give up on us and move to a more enlightened country like Zimbabwe instead of blubbering about how awful and racist we are.

The danger of too much blathering about America being irredeemably white supremacist, is that white people may decide “Well, what’s wrong with white people being in control? Look at what happens to places where blacks get control.”

“Your question presumes that there is a static definition of whiteness...”

Well, that will make the future fun....

I don’t want to burst Ta-Ta boys bubble, i feel no guilt, racism of blacks to whites is rampant. Not my monkey, not my circus.

As he sees it, white supremacy is so foundational to America that it will be impossible to ever eradicate it.

This is the first I heard of this "brilliant must read" buffoon but I think I will not let him speak for me and I would advise America to put down his books. I am sure the whites that feel that they owe the blacks for years of oppression (BS) cannot get enough of his garbage.

I treat black/white/purple all the same, they treat me with respect, I return that gesture. My adopted son who is black was over yesterday afternoon and a tech who was white was working on my internet. They both arrived at the same time. My adopted son, said hello, shook my hand. The tech, who was arrogant on the phone brushed by me, asked me where my equipment was with out introductions. I promptly told him to get the hell out of my house until he could enter with respect. He got in his truck and left...

And that is what is wrong with America, people do not respect other people. Be it white, black or purple.

I swear that as of reading this piece, it is the first time I have heard of Ta Nehisi. I don’t look to him for anything. I’m a busy guy, and I don’t ask anything of anyone else. And I have not read the latest Ta Nehisi writing.
