Refreshing cynicism delivered through awful sentimentalist sermonizing.

Coates is smarter than anyone here would give him credit for.

Coates got memed as "the next james baldwin" because he's got an alright prose style. As for why there are any positive reviews here I have no clue.

Pretty sure that's general sociology shit, like convincing people they could just "win" an argument by asserting that actually "racism" meant something different the whole time.

If you don't hate niggers yet, that book could make you hate them. Or you'll at least hate the author.

Props to him for abusing the system and making the most out of it, though.
People call him a pussy, but you need to be cold-hearted as fuck to milk whiteys like that.
