The First White President by TA-NEHISI COATES

Coates is about the closest we have in this time to an eloquent writer who can make the issues plain in the way that cats like James Baldwin did. His Black Panther work wasn't his crowning achievement, but I appreciate it for what it is. That aside, he is a black national treasure.

The Negro speaks of rivers!


I've known rivers:

I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the

flow of human blood in human veins.



My soul has grown deep like the rivers.



I bathed in the Euphrates when dawns were young.

I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep.

I looked upon the Nile and raised the pyramids above it.

I heard the singing of the Mississippi when Abe Lincoln

went down to New Orleans, and I've seen its muddy

bosom turn all golden in the sunset.



I've known rivers:

Ancient, dusky rivers.



My soul has grown deep like the rivers.

The Southern Strategy is old news and something the democrat drones point to but guess what? Trump was a registered Democrat for 50 years so what happened? Did the party ideals not apply to him even though he was still a democrat after it?

So many of the brainwashed are stuck to think one way that it is unfathomable to them to think another and the only way they’ll change is if somebody white tells them.

Lol... over here hyperventilating and shit. Just read the article my guy. FYI it shits on Dems too since that's all you seem to be concerned about.

Read this again recently. Timely in this particular moment where a sitting US President is on record (not secretly recorded, not leaked but on record) telling elected officials to "go back to their countries" with all the fervor of George Wallace in the 60s.
What happened to George Wallace was funnier because he got shot and paralyzed by a White man.

I say all the time: 90% of the knives in ALL of our backs came from people who look just like US. Everyone can say this - Black, White, Puerto Rican, Mexican, Asian.

But George Wallace getting shot by a White man when he fears Black people and consider us the enemy is funny

“IT IS INSUFFICIENT TO STATE the obvious of Donald Trump: that he is a white man who would not be president were it not for this fact.”

It is interesting how much this also applies to Trump’s successor, Obama’s VP, who was picked not just because he was a white man, but a specific type of white man.

Thats kinda the point. To articulate that there is inherent benefit in whiteness which has whiteness as its most important prerequisite. That being said, this is more Trump specific, and i wouldnt make the mistake of grouping the two in any terms outside of shared skin tone.

Good bump nonetheless tho. That article remains a flat out awesome read.

I'm curious, what specific type of white man is Biden?
