|
Dec 17th 2017 | 6

If he insists on calling out other public black figures |
|
Dec 17th 2017 | 26
|
he talks about state & national level politics |
|
Dec 18th 2017 | 38

It's horseshit in the end because nothing will change without violence |

West is right to criticize Coates’s fatalism and pessimism. |
|
Dec 17th 2017 | 13

West isn't trying to be a leader either... |

Y'all just gonna attack Cornel instead of attacking what he said, huh? |

Dec 18th 2017 | 52

He hasn't said anything they can honestly argue against that's why. |
