        "Insecure and Petty" for calling out another person's lack of completeness in thier arguments? Like any other good teacher /elder CW was calling on TNC to #DoBetter. But much like all too many today, TNC doesn't improve, he runs away. How does that help the cause?

        Don't be silly. That's a pathetic strawman argument. Of course "not everyone knows who everybody is"—duh! But any sensible adult who reads any serious US publication, or watch any serious news outlet, or participate in any serious forum on culture in America, shd kno who they arepic.twitter.com/neCEq8uaL3

        well fuck him for commenting on a NYT tweet lol You may disagree but it is a valid argument as you agree with a "duh" I'm vaguely familiar with both but couldn't tell you their positions. Can't we just agree that the headline is horrible???

        I read Prof. West's piece about Coates. There's no name-calling or childishness in it. It's a serious, intellectual objection to Coates's ideas. Not sure if I agree with West, but the take by Twitter/Coates is that the professor was out of line. No, he wasn't.

        Except you clearly haven't read Coates. If you had, you'd know that TNC criticized Obama for all the things West wants him to. West's argument was surprisingly intellectually lazy, which made it more of a hit piece than a critique.

        Mr Coates is a gifted writer....who expresses his opinions clearly and concisely...Prof. West must have been jealous of the publications and the success of the younger generation...it boils down to jealousy. ..

        West is no fan of Obama probably for similar reasons.

        I don’t understand Mr Coates reasoning. Whatever happened to rational discourse? Agreeing to disagree? Sad.
