it's so insulting to have this Black writer's segment on his work framed by racist white people's reactions.
TNC is going to pull a Baldwin and leave the country, I swear
Why don't they shit talk his Captain America run while they're at it. It's infuriating how complete the bias is that any criticism of Israel and the war on Gaza is hatred against the Israeli people and antisemitism in general. It always was the American media status quo. Now it's beyond the pale
Then there's this: "Columbia business Professor Shai Davidai wrote, “Ta-Nehisi Coates is not above raping young women at a music festival in the name of ‘resistance,’ ” referring to one of the Oct. 7 attacks that left hundreds dead at the Nova fest. - NY Post article, quote from the bird site
still worth watching. glad the host agreed that that woman was being very racist and colonial
Producer Guy - "Wouldn't it be funny if he had to react to the worst takes we could find?? Wouldn't it??"
(sipping sherry on a fainting couch) Could he please say racially tinged, my vapor level is dangerously high
That was so nasty and disrespectful and unprofessional. There’s nothing else to say.
Yeah, it's kind of terrible that this was sprung on him like that. You can see him struggling (valiantly) to process while also keeping his cool (all on live TV).
NGL, I was amazed at how well he kept his cool in that situation. Then I was horrified that he had a lifetime of experience in having to damp down any person's natural reaction to that kind of racist shit. :(
