This is just an FYI comment. Something unusual I have been observing on THIS UA-cam video and something that has become horribly apparent to me after watching every UA-cam video I’ve been able to find of Professor Coates speaking about his new book. It’s the highly unusual amount of commercial interruptions. So today on this one I have timed their frequency since around 20 minutes. And there is a commercial interruption approximately every 4-5 minutes!!!! I am on UA-cam ALL the time and I’ve never noticed THIS amount and frequency of commercial interruptions EVER. And they aren’t the easy commercials where you get a “skip” button after 15-20 seconds either. Professor Coates?? This tells me you are DEFINITELY speaking truths that some bigwigs do NOT WANT YOU TO BE SPEAKING!! Thank you for doing it anyway!!!!
I just finished watching the interview and wading through the commercials. I was horrified to notice that one of them is for products being made and sold by Israel settlers recently arriving from the U.S. It was loaded with propaganda. Makes me wonder about YT’s motives placing it within this interview.
@@nancylorusso3622 yeah. I noticed some ads that I thought were entirely antithetical to the discussion as well. Like ones with white men ( I imagine them to be MAGA or the kind of white men that stormed the capital and wanted to hang Mike Pence) talking about guns. I just thought that was a bad one but mostly I was just too shocked at the time by how frequently the whole video was being interrupted and that’s when it dawned on me that seemed to have been happening way more than usual and how over the last week the majority of what I was watching and rewatching were ones with Ta-Nehesi Coates or about him and that CBS morning show. I’m watching a fun one with Trevor Noah and Josh Johnson right now and it’s over an hour long and it’s maybe had 2 commercials?
As a Muslim American I hope he continues to realize the position he’s and the changes he can bring about. He is in the early stages of discovering something very vast. It could consume the rest of his life. I hope he takes the mantle and leads this nation forward
Because it is important to you now. This is about Blacks across all four continents, rooting us to what we are now emerging out of, and the principles that forge our tomorrow. Not about Christians, Muslims or Europeans, but basically, at its core, us, of African descent, all of our diaspora, uniquely.
You are correct. The nations that support Israel, the nations that are providing military weapons to Israel they are all colonial nations (uk, France, Germany, Netherlands, etc.). The leadership in these countries create policies from the colonial era. even though they profess, they have moved on beyond colonialism
God no! Why don’t you want Muslims and Arabs to be able to tell their own story instead of outsourcing that responsibility to other people? I mean it has to be outsourced to some degree right now because Muslims and Arabs have limited voices and even people who can speak aren’t allowed to speak freely…but I don’t want that to always be the case! Why do you?!?
So, so, so grateful for this interview. After watching so many other interviews that are not at all focused on the entire book, it is so good to hear the whole story! And to hear the writers process.
There are so much truth in this interview , African-Americans should pay more attention to the black politicians in America , what are they voting for ? what policies and command can they make.
Ta-Nehisi Coates in discussion with Norman Finkelstein, with Trevor Noah & Marc Lamont Hill being the interviewers would be such as good discussion to hear and watch!
@@fefii21 I’ve watched everyone I have been able to find! This man is making such a powerful and world changing impact and setting such a supreme example for the younger generations like nobody I have seen in ages!
"Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done?"-- Proverbs 24:11-12.
If it wasn't for that CBS interview I would've never heard about him, it just goes to show that there are so many people in the world that we may never hear about because we might be in our own echo chamber.
I'm not understanding why is it that we have to be afraid to call out Israel's government or mistreating of people. No other country on Earth do we be afraid to call out their Injustice or what the government is doing to the people. But we as Americans have to be afraid to say anything negative about Israel. Why is that?????
It's your selective bias that's concerning. No mention of Sudan and Yemen and Ukraine and China and Iran and Lebanon, etc. Women and gays getting murdered by the people you support. That's what makes you a bigot and not a genuine activist.
Is there anyone that knows of a Black-owned Bookstore that also sells online?? I am in North Carolina so one that closest to me so my shipping charge will not be as much as ordering from a bookstore further away?? Any suggestions would be appreciated though. Thank you.
Call the nearest Black-owned bookstore even if they don’t sell online. You can ask them to ship it to you book rate and they might be able to email you an invoice to pay before shipping.
@@da8454 sorry, I don’t mean to be dense but how do I find a Black owned bookstore? I know about the Black owned businesses near me but that’s only because I got it from my Chamber of Commerce but there’s no bookstore on the list. I’d rather NOT do Amazon .
@@okterlox0 I googled and found the following in North Carolina: Liberation Station Bookstore, Urban Reader Bookstore, Rofhiwa Book Cafe. I think they have websites too so will probably be able to ship to you. Good luck and good reading!!
I would love to know if Prof. Coates has read The Transfer Agreement by Edwin Black. Those of you who appreciate the James Baldwin of our time should also familiarize yourselves to understand in full measure his position.
Coates has not only earned his place among America's greatest contemporary writers but has also given voice to wounds that have long been silenced and stories that must be told. So glad, he visited Palestine and saw the oppression and occupation first hand.
Colonialism. Why is there a mosque on top of the ancient Jewish Temple Mount? Where did the Jews originally come from? Modern Israel was founded by Jewish refugees seeking safety after centuries of persecution in many different countries up through the Holocaust. And then they revived their ancient language so everyone spoke the same. After Israel was founded they were forced out of all the Arab countries like Iraq - places they had lived for centuries. The British could leave South Africa and go back to Britain. Should the Jews go back to Iraq, Libya, Iran, Germany, Russia, etc.? Not your typical “colonialism” as most people think about it. It’s more like the ultimate anti-colonial struggle to return the land to its original inhabitants.
The very people giving this brother praise knew this truth from the start... The timing of this book is not at theright time..Innocent women and children are being killed...Regardless how bad the goverments are such revelation should not be glorified... Besides these are the very people that invented that greek faternity that the author belong to....Dr Clarke taught us that!!!!!!!!!!!
Why does TaNehisi Coates soeaks the way he does. It sounds insufferably as though it’s acknowledged that he’s a great author and writer. His oral speech doesn’t reflect or echo his competence in prose or the written language. His verbal speech isn’t refined or sophisticated and I think he should modify himself and his verbal articulation to resemble the literary quality he has become renowned for
Coates is a narcissist on an ego tour about how profound he feels. We need historians and journalists, not self-aggrandizing bigots conflating thier personal feelings with reality as Coates does.
Because of the CBS interview I learned about this distinguished gentleman! Thank you!

@@justchaz. it’s about having the courage to putting an end to colonialism once and for all, and not allowing Israel to be an exception

150,000 black churches stand with Ta-Nehisi Coates’ . He is our hero!
Why?

The James Baldwin of our time. Happy to be alive
Great, courageous writer. May God continue to protect you and your family.
Courageous? Lol, he's on an ego tour.
We as African people have some great minds and thinkers, I only wish our global awakening was more tied to these powerful voices!
I watched this. And then again. And then again.
So, so, so grateful for this interview. After watching so many other interviews that are not at all focused on the entire book, it is so good to hear the whole story! And to hear the writers process.
Wow! I'm so glad this Brotha is back on the scene!!! As Our NOI Brotha's say: "Now that's a Good Brotha."
Awesome interview and profound words by author Ta-Nehisi Coates🎉🎉
"profound" lol

What an inspiring parallel Kickoff to Homecoming Weekend!
I applaud you sir for your courage and journalism 👏
No journalism, just his poetic feelings.

Rev. Anthony Evans stands with Ta-Nehisi Coates at 1 billion percent!
In the age of anti- Affirmative Action to university admission, it is an honour to be admitted at an HBCU. Thank you Hoqard University

Thank you and God bless you.

Well done Brother bard Coates. Skies and limitation. I look forward to reading your new Palestinian book. Salaams

Certain Americans but it says a lot
Because they are the PUPPETMASTERS of the U S and the so-called "West". Simple.

The US government and powerful lobby over the years that weaponization of the holocaust and the term antisemitism especially against black people.
Perhaps because Israel is a critically key ally of America in that Muslim/oil region of the world. 🤔
