When you began to ask questions about race… look for the shadow of racism ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼

West Point's auditorium looks like an old basement. The lectern looks like it was put together by a ninth grade shop class.

As a black American, I say forget about Reparations and let move to Africa, Latin America, Asia, etc... Because if the West or Europe wants trade, denied them!! They cannot be trusted especially the past 500 years history prove their intentions to deal fairly. Tell them to keep on walking and suffer like France.

Totally insane

Finally a Ta Nehisi Coates video where the comments haven’t been turned off 😂

I’ve watched this speed at least ten times. Shout out to Col Harper, I met him on a plane traveling to Jackson, Ms to give a speech.

We are eliminating each other now. Excellent videos. God is in charge, so do your best., and he will do the rest. Please help working non beggars help themselves and pay it forward. I came to Mexico in 1962 at age 20. Acapulco was my favorite, and I spent 0ver 60 years visiting and living in Mexico. I moved in 2021 to Queretaro at age 79, and I love this safe, friendly and beautiful city. It is a cool temperature, and earthquakes were my deal breakers for beautiful Acapulco. It is less expensive here, and all utilities are included in my beautifully furnished apartment. rent, and also a maid and security. San Miguel is next door. I have been speaking Spanish as a second language since age 14. USA became too deadly and expensive. Enjoy everyone.

Blacks related to the chieftains and warlords who sold their own people to the European slave traders get reparations? (No replies read)

BTW, dying, Grant wrote 9000 words of said memoir, that did not require editing or revision in one sitting.

Of course he writes super-hero genre! Good god, he is thus endowed.

This is for all you Descendants of slave owners in the comments who feel Black Americans should have recoverd from 400 years of slavery by now. Let me send your family through trauma based mind control for four hundred years. Beat'em, rape''em castrate them hang'em torture them forbid them to read our write then expect them to make a life for themselves while being terrorized all during their so called freedom. Let's see how your people would turn out......Although despite your pass advantageous over us There's seems to be lot of trailer parks and rosy cheek white homeless people now days. Wanna know why we can't get ahead as a race cause we got a lot of fake representation political sell outs. Wanna be 33 degree mason's your government plants amongst us to sabotage our advancement Yep Cointelpro. Actually it's not your government it's the one in the shadows of your government controlling everything manipulating the deficit keeping you from what used to be white privilege. Now it's reserved for indians and Asians . How does it feel to be second class citizens? Back to this group Whom can't wait for your borders to become over run and your fiat currency to not be worth the paper they print it on and your economy built off slave labor to crash turning your beloved America into a third world country while they watch it implode with you in it. Question... why do you to think they left a navy Patriot behind in Russia to free an LGBTQ member. ? Cause the good ole boy America you've grown to love is gon The synagogue of Satan can't stand you either . Fun Fact.... Non of you red people are capable enough to pull off 400 years of bondage of the Original man on your own. Slavery wasn't your peoples engineering it was the Most High's punishment for us transgressing His laws statues and commandments, but the true Hebrews are woke now and it will soon be your turn to serve us. Isaiah 14: 2 The nations of the world will help the LORD's people to return, and those who come to live in their land will serve them. Those who captured Israel will themselves be captured, and Israel will rule over its enemies. ...... Shalom

1822 black slaves were given a country called Liberia, many went, many stayed in the USA. You were given m I ney, you enforce US Jim Crow laws over the indigenous pop. & became Lords & after 200 years ex-slaves destroyed the country which is now one of the many failed basket cases of Africa. long live Kawanda!....

Putting aside the problem with all these spending schemes is there is no wealth left to pay for them. In 2015 Lawrence kotlikoff calculated the total. unfunded liabilities of the US government & found them to be over 200 trillion $. You could raise taxes to 100% confiscation of everyone’s income from bill Gates down to the kid working at McDonald’s even including all the welfare recipients & you can’t fund that. Yes the government can always just create money but what will the “money” be worth. You better hope you never get reparations because if you do you will be lucky to by a chiclet with. The laws of arithmetic don’t give a dam what you think you’re entitled to.

A hard core racist speaking to our finest. What a pity. Coates spreads his venom for personal financial gain (See Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Patrisse Cullors, etc. etc. etc.) and to hold other blacks in mental slavery to something that had zero effect on their lives. Blacks are in the condition they are in because of personal bad choices ALL paid for by the DEMOCRATIC PARTY. To get your chek, you have to abandon your husband/wife, have as many illegitimate children as possible, never seek work, worship the government as god, and centrally vote Democrat. Yea, keep putting more links on your chains.

You got reparations brotha time to move on

No Reperation no vote

I’m hesitant to call this nothing more than modern day sophistry. However I do not know what he “knows” but I can clearly say what he does not. He is factually wrong on so many points that the bedrock of his argument is nothing more than a house of cards. This is nothing more than revisionist history and a warped perspective holding “slavery”, which was a human universal, as the foundation of everything.

We aunt’s get no reporashuns!

Reparations? Sure. As soon as science allows us to bring back to life those who were directly involved in those things that reparations purport to somehow fix, alleviate, mitigate, resolve or otherwise 'make up for'. Stick to your beliefs. Meanwhile, I'll fight to the death anyone I find who attempts to take anything from me, in order to redress sins committed when my grandparents, my great grandparents, and all MY ancestor's generations back to the beginning of time, weren't even in this fucking country. When you say "America should pay." Who the fuck do you think pays the bill? Every blameless taxpayer in this country. NOT ONE SINGLE ONE OF WHICH has done any harm to you. Listen to Sowell, and stop playing the victim. EVERYone has ancestors who endured great hardships. Don't see them trying to sue the innocent children of those who did them harm. YOU DON'T SEE ME SUING THE DESCENDANTS OF THE AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN EMPIRE FOR KEEPING MY ANCESTORS VASSALS UNDER THE FEUDAL SYSTEM OF GOVERNANCE. Go screw yourselves.

Affirmative action is a form of reparations but it is not received as such, therefore it might be good to replace AA with a single payment of cash to ADOS based on a genetic test that shows percent ADOS ancestry. Perhaps then we can move on.

This is garbage, complete and utter garbage.

Good exposition on Twelfth Night..

I was a little disappointed that he didn't really say much about reparations. Wonderful lecture though!

sad, that a racist is invited to speak at the Point. www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/07/the-toxic-world-view-of-ta-nehisi-coates-120512/ "His monstrous passage about 9/11 is a good summation of where he’s coming from. He writes of the police and firefighters who died running into the burning buildings in a forlorn effort to save all the people whose bodies were about to be obliterated into dust, “They were not human to me. Black, white, or whatever, they were menaces of nature; they were the fire, the comet, the storm, which could - with no justification - shatter my body.” Really? Firefighters go about shattering the bodies of black people without justification? One doesn’t read about, say, Anthony Rodriguez, 36, father of six, whose last child was born days after he died in the attack, who joined the Navy before becoming a firefighter, who coached youth basketball, and naturally think of the depredations of white America" www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/ta-nehisi-coatess-racist-hackery/

Funny! West Point students, lied, cheated, and stole. Within the policies and recessions to follow. Further spreading the idea of socialism as progression in this word of regression. Know how to think before you are a victim of circumstances to which become your prison you advocate from. Constraints on individual minds just keep getting tighter as they detach you from reality and have you losing your grip on your own freedom before having you resenting your freedom, from not understanding the trials and tribulations that were attached to remaining free, masked as an “ISM” OF SPECIAL INTEREST.

Look up Cornel West’s criticism of this guy, really good

Woke West Point. We are in trouble

Damn CDT Beldi killed it

Coates promotes the idea of perpetual victimhood

What happened to Prince Jones is an absolute travesty (I’m appalled by these stories and can understand the anger). I can understand how he’d be angry and would at the time have no sympathy for 9/11 responders (as he says he dehumanized them), because he was angry and there was not going to be any justice for Prince Jones. So it was very nice to see that his views have changed over time. This was my first exposure to him and I’m not familiar with his views yet but I would really like to know what his thoughts are on something like Booker T Washington’s ‘Up From Slavery’.

Coates neglects to mention the fact the officer who killed his friend was also black- which muddies the picture of his claim that his friend was a victim of white supremacy.

What a privilege to hear this lecture ... and at West Point. There is hope...

Feelings and emotions but unfortunately no critical thinking. No wonder so few views - who wants to listen this trash...

are they not allowed to applaud?

They couldnt take it.....Great lecture...you can actually feel the beautiful uncomfortability

Well done! Rob (C3 '73)

Morons, REPARATIONS are unconstitutional, so they are NEVER going to happen! EVER!! READ the US CONSTITUTION "NO ex post facto laws can be enacted by the state or federal governments! Article 1 - The Legislative Branch Section 9 - Limits on Congress Clause 3 - No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed. Article 1 - The Legislative Branch Section 10 - Powers Prohibited of States Clause 1 - No State shall ...; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law An ex post facto law is making something a crime that was LEGAL at the time it occurred, LIKE SLAVERY! Not one person in America today has ever LEGALLY owned slaves and not one person in American today has ever been a slave!! Despite what the moron Senator Tim Kaine said, AMERICA did not INVENT slavery, slavery has been a part of the world since time immemorial and still exists in the world today(albeit ILLEGALLY). Every nation, every tribe, every continent on the planet(except Antartica), has had slavery! Slavery has been done by EVERY group of people to EVERY OTHER group of people in the world, NOBODY is free from being slavers in the past! Black tribes in Africa made war upon their neighboring tribes, made them slaves and had been doing this for centuries before they started selling them to the Europeans to cross the Atlantic. The ATLANTIC slave trade brought 10 million black slaves to the WESTERN HEMISPHERE(not just to the USA), most of the slaves went to the caribbean spice islands, and central and south America, only 5%(500K of the 10 million) came to be in places that would later become America. In comparison, 20 million central africans, were captured and sent over the Saharan trade route to North Africa to become slaves. Over 40 million central africans were captured and sent over the Arabian trade route to what is now Saudi Arabia, Iran, and India! "The Democrats wore Kente cloth stoles handed out by the Congressional Black Caucus and knelt on the floor of the U.S. Capitol Visitors Center for eight minutes and 46 seconds - the time police officer Derek Chauvin's knee was on the neck of George Floyd - before a press conference announcing the proposed "Justice in Policing Act."" What is REALLY appalling is the Kente cloth is not AFRICAN, it comes from the ASHANTI tribe, which was one of the BIGGEST slavers in Africa! So, to protest George Floyd's death and supposed "systemic racism" the Democrats expropriate Kente cloth stolls from a tribe that was one of the worst tribes in capturing other blacks and selling them to Europeans for transit to America!! Talk about people not knowing ANYTHING about history! Or the LAW or the US Constitution!

This is WONDERFUL! Thank you for sharing this! I remember having to memorize & perform sonnets in COL Kapps' class. UGH!

As an "Old Grad", I wish we had this back in the 1980s. Wonderful effort by all involved. Thank-you.

Loved it! My vote is for CDT Grete and CDT Lamb! Bravo to all!

Amazing! Great thoughtfulness, and genuine enthusiasm! My vote is for CDT Lamb. Bravo to all! PLAY ON!

Who the hell let this guy speak at west point? A man who calls the first responders of 9/11 "menaces of nature" and uses a questionable police shooting of a friend in Prince George County to create a damning generalization of all law enforcement and first responder personnel regardless of good done and sacrifices made by these people.

An officer should not have his feet up on a table.

America is not just a lie, it is a sham. A cadet would not lie cheat steal or tolerate those who do? Ask Pompeo if he remembers that code, and the Sham of that code and him working for Trump the liar and pussy grabber? I said usa was a sham didn't I? The same way they lie to themselves about slavery and Jim Crow era of robbing blacks and natives, if GOD is real Retribution will arrive some day.

🤔As it relates to modern day white supremacy, white folks need to stop calling the police on frivolous incidents, such situations should result in a FINE; no different than what has been done to Jussie Smollett.

Coates timing is just perfect! Sure to get the Orange Menace re-elected!!

They continue to recruit young white men and indoctrinate them into this philosophy is deliberate and without Shame or remorse for the statues on grounds and their purpose for being their vs being removed

Coates did not have a white friend until he was 20. This is a personal shortcoming that has infected his worldview and left his writings on race equally infected with bigoted analyses and neo-racist policy recommendations. His racist views move America backwards. His special blindness might be a result of a segregated past but it can’t lead anyone to a more inclusive future.

Majority of those who live in certain states where slaves. Does this mean that some and or many who where slaves. Because of mix breeding, become free? Yes even though they where of African descent and European descent. They look European and became free?
