That’s a damned shame. Coates had a lot of insightful things to say.

"white knighting" is a term used by insecure boys who feel threatened by, well, pretty much everything, and are terrified of other people having integrity, empathy, and compassion because they have none.

This is unfortunate. He is a new, fresh voice worth hearing. I used to respect Cornel West. Increasingly disillusioned lately. With the emergence of each new African-American thought leader, West has made it his mission to discredit them. Raises the spectre of petty jealousy.

Michael Eric Dyson and President Obama are just 2 that come immediately to mind.

Mr. Coates has seemed to me to be a person with restraint, with a sort of build-up so to speak, until letting loose with fact based opinion. It may be in keeping with his dignified anger that he has left the Twitter platform at this time.

C’mon West and Coates, you’re both intellectuals, use your words and speak directly to each other.
