  • In her Peabody-award winning public radio show and podcast, On Being, Krista Tippett provides a space for deep and meaningful conversations with profound thinkers of our time. In a live taping of her show at CHF she will interview Ta-Nehisi Coates, author of the acclaimed BETWEEN THE WORLD AND ME, on the occasion of his latest book, WE WERE EIGHT YEARS IN POWER: AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY, a work that examines the eight years of the Obama presidency, a dramatic era in politics, activism, and culture that has reshaped this country and its public discourse. As part of On Being's Civil Conversations Project, they will explore issues ranging from the idea of a “post-racial” world to Coates' meticulously constructed case for reparations for slavery.
    This program was presented in partnership with The Institute of Politics at The University of Chicago.

    I have listened this five times this week and find myself still coming back to it. I particularly like 5:26- 11:00. That section is profoundly meaningful and rich.

    I love Coates and what he says in the intro "ancestor reverence, not ancestor worship". He seems so smart. I wrote a memoir. I'm a college student. Coates is a published writer and he is a popular Black writer. I think he's just so cool. Coates says he was influenced by poets or poetry. I'm a poet. I have to get his book.

    Very smart guy. I was disappointed that he didn’t feel able to answer some of the questions from the audience. It may just be dawning him that people are interested in his general views; not because they think that he has all the answers, but because they respect his intellect.
    So many people give their opinions, in the absence of intellect or knowledge.
    It would be great to hear Coates’ thoughts; he is far more qualified and more thoughtful than the majority of social commentators.

    Before God eradicates evil he must exposed it. He usually provides those who commit evil to see themselves and to choose life or death. He usually is a God who seeks the individual to understand what is happening while staying mysterious. This is that when disaster comes it is known that all power and authority in heaven and earth is in his hands.

    I’ve been watching a lot of lectures/seminars of Coates and other black writers lately...why are they usually so awkward?? And it’s usually the facilitators fault.

    • @Blackufi
      @Blackufi 3 роки тому +1

      You perceiving them as "awkward", perhaps, has less to do with them being black, and more to do with their "brilliance". After all, brilliance is a trait that makes those who posses it distinct from me, you & everybody else. Have you ever met a highly intelligent person who was "normal"?

  • @domenicming9551

    That avant-guard response to her question about "what can [white people] do to fix racism" got me kinda tight. I expected a more direct set list of things. Cause there are direct things white people, especially those with money can do.

    I cannot believe that I sat through this foolishness. Krista Tippet is nearly unwatchable. I struggled, painfully, through to the end. Because she is such a worthless interviewer, his responses seemed tortured. Coates managed to not be completely awful, despite the awful circumstances.

      You are correct. She is very affected. I was waiting for her to ask him what kind of tree he would be.
