I like the energy and complicity between host and guest. The “James Crow” 😂 line was just 👌🏾
BLACK folks STOP excepting all STRAY! Kamala Harris is Indian Jamaican not BLACK grassroots American. Coleman Hughes is black DIASPORA aka Afro LATINO . Coleman is not black grassroots American . There are LATINOS than Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican etc
Racism of some form is tribal from 10,000 years ago or whenever people found they could raid and take captives. A more modern form is the 1400 year cult from medina, which is still taking place. I'm of north african / mideast descent still living in the mediterranean area as a laptop nomad who is a geopolitical / financial consultant. My grandfather was a senior diplomat till Sadat was killed for agreeing for peace and acceptance of Israel. Thats when my grandfather left the cult from mohamet, and since then everyone in the family is secular. 1400 years ago from medina sprang a cult that conquered and forced conversions, took slaves, and murdered many. Islam is a word for submission, jihad is their way of conquest. Why do you think they went to jerusalem and built a mosque on the jews holiest site, Why didn't they build it on some other hill. Its to show conquest. And for those who say the jews are from europe and are conolizers, people may want to examine how did they get their from canaan . The romans sacked jerusalem 2,000 years ago and took the jews slaves, some were killed in their collusiums, some escaped and went from turkiye and greece towards the balkans. And for those who say they don't look mideast, remember the catholic church is an extension of roman conquest and raping jews was common. Islam isn't any different, they compete over domination. The colonizers of the canaan area are the islamists. The jews are the indigenous. For further study, a person can google the turks genocide of the kurds or syrias assad who killed many more or examine te islamists in central africa. Also google sub-saharan slavery and its easy to see who the colonizers and oppressors are, Thats why my grandfather left the cult, and moved to europe to teach the mideast politics and histories.
Coleman Hughes he's not a foundational black American.. he is Cuban😂 not like us. Both of you women need to read a book about Neely Fuller Jr. Y'all been living in Wauconda for too long😂 to be 60 and to still be ignorant is very dangerous. Peace love and reparations to FBA😂
Many white people, who always operate in service of their racial group, have manipulated many blacks into a false sense of individualism, proud to act and think in contrast to a collective wisdom that has been developed to protect ALL black people. They mistake their so-called "free thought" and individualism as a virtue as they embrace and parrot talking points given to them by white educators used to disempower the black collective and serve their own ego.
Coleman Hughes is what Clay Cane calls a " black grifter"
I find it sad that DeKopple took over the whole conservation & made it seem as if the whole book was about Israel & it was not!??
Coleman Hughes CRUZ is not black american lineage. His parents are Cubans. Let not get fouled by someone whom the lineage is not descendant of slaves in America speaking about race in America.
What is so exclusive as to if a black individual has 'black American lineage" or not. All black people have the same lineage. Yes some have through interracial relationships compromised their lineage and can take conservative positions which are not in the interest of the real black person. even some of the real black persons argue against his own. But the bigger point as stated before if you are black you are black in spite of where you were born. All of us are descendants of someone African. I am black but not an American and the Black American seems not to appreciate his influnence across the world. Many African, West Indians came up admiring the American Black; even want to come to the USA but for some silly reason you build up a resentment against them, thinking that they came to take away your jobs etc when they want to be part of you. Many civil rights activists of the 60s who put their lives at risk were connected to the West Indies, so its a nonsense to talk about not being descendant of slaves in America. My suggestion to the Black born American is learn your history even if De Santis wants to wipe it out and get to know the world outside of your country. Don't feel that because you carry the nationality American you are exclusive to other Blacks across the world. The yt American sees you as a third class person.
@@johnsealy4909 I agree with almost all what you said. The problem is some of West Indians and Africans brothers (Coleman Hughes, Atcho to names a few) have aligned themselves with white people to go against black american demands and struggles. Someone like Coleman Hughes who is for instance very against reparations for descendants of slaves in America is at the same time very vocal defending the interests of an apartheid regime like Israel because he's paid to do so. Some black americans take issue with that cause it feels like some of these brothers are willing to defend yt people interests and some colonials powers over there more than black people interests in general....
Definitely understand the points of view here. It’s complex. I’m reminded that Kwame Ture (Stokely Carmichael), Shirley Chisolm, Marcus Garvey are from Trinidad & Tobago, Barbados, and Jamaica, respectively
People Of Color that come from other countries (and some within) adopt a different train of thought is that they are opportunist. For someone to say "I don't see color " means they never see the problem. And if you can't see the problem then you are the problem.
I agree with you. Hughes who is Puerto Rican, has been elevated in white spaces to promote "colorblindness," a long-adapted conservative concept that has been historically used to argue AGAINST affirmative action and downplay the significance of race-conscious issues, and Hughes, plucked from obscurity, stands at the forefront of those black faces promoting white ideologies, arguing that racism that has long been solved and is now is just an unreasonable, self-serving, victim mentality figment of the collective black imagination.
Coleman Hughes CRUZ is a Fraud. This guy is an AIPAC agent. He's bought and paid for. I think you should do WAY More research about who finances and platforms him
Well the questions is proper. He doesnt feel anything when 3,000 people were murdered on 9/11. He is willing to dismiss Jihadism/terrorism. Coates need to be read to filth, he's a terrorist sympathizer. I don't think either of you ladies would like to be the subject of a terrorist attack. Unless you like suicide bombings, intifadas directed at you.
It's always been systemic and it definitely exists still they just walk by and cough instead of saying the hard R
Destroying the racial construct will not solve the of racism. Humanity is only thing that will solve the racism. Look at History the Roman Empire, and all the dynasties of the world. They all caste systems or class systems. It's all about power.
Deep & true!
I would like to chime in on the race for President and why the race is close. I believe race and sexism is the foundation. It more about class and the desemination of information. Just like how politicians jury rigg voting maps. I believe information and education is jury rigged. So while it appears things are neck and neck. It's a false equivalent.
We’re hopeful. The media is whack when it comes to their twisting to project fairness.
Also Ta-nehisi said that Apartheid is wrong or right?
He’s very clear that it’s wrong regardless of context.
But that is typically how Jewish people respond to criticism. The thing is the UN seen interviewer the owner of the media outlet is designed to protect itself. Capitalism is the real issue not racism by itself. The racism is tied to the capitalism.
Always appreciate your insight. Racism was definitely born out of capitalism & greed. We have Jewish friends who have a range of points of view on what the Israeli government is doing/has done.
Jane Crow I agree that racism has morphed into a more sophisticated construct. And btw ladies your topics affect men also. 😊
Yeah, we love that our topics span gender, age & race
So glad this popped up on my timeline.

Saw this and thought about you all. They are the spoilest, contradicting, biggest hypocrites as a people on earth due to their cult ideology. ruclips.net/video/Had6L6O_KtA/видео.htmlsi=aKL68Opc_dkCErER
Doukopil (sp?) came at Coates with an agenda to discredit Coates' experience on the ground... how do you discredit someone's EXPERIENCE? ... that is dehumanization at its highest level
I had to go back and see the interview. The Israel part is a large part of the book. Tony asked questions other people would ask once they read the book. Coates was given the opportunity to explain the book and journalist views.
@@christinejohnsonosei-tutu4129 yeah, I thought the questions were clearly relevant- I think his delivery was a bit off putting. Thanks for chiming in Sis!
Have u read the book??? I have not yet but from my understanding Israel is not a largest part of the book it's at the end.... He (Coates) actually started the chapter on Israel with the Holocaust....I think that chapter is really asking what happened to a ppl that went from living through the horrors that are the Holocaust to committing the current horrors being inflicted on the ppl of Palestine ??? 🤔🤔🤔
And Tony got fired. 😊 Thanks ladies, cuz I was surely upset at these new age wannabe activists and MAGA Blacks who aren't saying a thing in Coates' defense.
Even if Coates addressed the how, he would've took it back to the 1890s when the Zionists movement started and set out to target Palestinians. And when the convo starts there, the Tonis of the world want to end the convo. 😂and Tony was taking one for the team cuz at the very end he tells Coates that he's still welcomed to attend a Jewish event.
@@Universal_Bias That last part seemed to be a passive aggressive way to smooth things over in order to keep his job. I heard that Gayle and Nate weren’t too happy about how things went.
@@blackboomerbestiesfrombrooklyn oh it definately was but it didn't work. A group inappropriately called "The Free Press" who sided with Tony played a leak audio of Tony's boss talking to the staff and saying how poorly that interview was conducted and she apologized for not addressing that type of conduct sooner. CBS stood up, surprisingly.
that invitation at the end was trash b/c why would you want 'an extremist' at your event... he accused Coates of saying Israel doesn't have the right to exist... as if Coates was saying the Jewish people don't have a right to exist rather than questioning the policies of the State of Israel
@@ginahouston9352 Thanks for your comment. That’s the deep thinking we love! Please subscribe if you haven’t already.
The difference between interviews: The NABJ was running late so she rushed without a proper intro. He came in with a defensive agenda because he doesn't like answering tough questions. NABJ reporters were objective and looking for straight answers. CBS reporter took Coates book as an attack on him and his Zionists regime and attacked Coates in his line of questioning. Trump was defensive from jump. Coates was caught off guard and it took him awhile before he realized Toni's angle.
Coates was not cool with it. He was stunned and tried to keep his cool. Later in the interview Coates lit into him because he kept up his bs.
@@Universal_Bias yeah, the whole thing was a bit awkward. Thanks for leaving a comment. We appreciate you
He said "the backpack of an extremist" eluding to Coates possibly being a motivator of terror against Israel.
@@Universal_Bias yeah, we thought it a bit aggressive of a comment given the “context” of the author. Thank you for listening

It irritates me when Americans conflate skin tone and colour. In the rest of the world, being Mixed Race and being a light-skinned Black person are 2 different lived experiences, but Im from the UK.

… ..Brooklyn11 is on several platforms spreading her sheeba negativity
…… comment people love saying men
I’m a Gen Xer. The topic of colorism in the black community is so complex and controversial but your commentary has been thought provoking. For example - this just my opinion or analysis - lighter complexion persons may be accepted in white spaces faster than an obvious black person, but does that lighter complexion person “suffers” like so many white people by getting by simply because they are white (lighter complexion in this case)? Whereas they maybe the token “black” person but do they have the intellect to even be in those spaces compared to a darker skin person? Also, I thought about my own experiences when it comes to colorism: was I perpetuating the narrative of its existence? All of my black friends are hues darker than me. I had a friend in high school who was lighter skinned; our friendship didn’t last unlike some others who were darker skinned. It could have been because all the boys flocked to her but she wasn’t smart at all. (I’m not saying all light complexed people are not intelligent because there are a lot of us black people in every hue not smart people.) I found majority of my friends who are darker are highly intelligent people.
Wow how absolutely ridiculous. Not surprising but ridiculous nonetheless.
ladies don't come for Janet. you're not funny or cute
Yes, they benefit from being silent, and not nipping colorism in bud at childhood.
@@valarieballard4586 Thanks for weighing in. Tell us more: who benefits? Who should nip in the bud at childhood?
The problem is colorism is perpetuated by the same people who claim to be victims of it
Thanks for your comment. Please subscribe for more intellectuals stimulating conversations
Dark skin men are great perpetuators of colorism. They don’t want children who take their own complexion. Yet, they can also be victims of it. The problem is that it exists and warps the minds of both the victims and the offenders. I was called Black spook by a brownskin teen and i never forgot that. My question to you, what is the point you are trying to get at w this comment??
You thought you said something educational 😂😂😂
What is she talking about???
The question is: Can light-skinned Black people be more active in dismantling colorism in the same way YT people should be more active in breaking down racism. What do you think?
Just wanted to add this tid bit about the deceased singer Celia Cruz-/Cuban woman , her career and songs were about her and other black/african decended Cubans/latin community loving their skin. Segregation was a thing in Cuba, you can look up the history. People think colorism/discrimenation is only an american thing--no its global.
Usually, I find most Latin Cultures do this because of the whiteness Spain got from the queen along with Italy and Greece. I do not ever see this in Africa but perhaps Ethioipa does have a vibe on it but I could not detect it.
Thanks for your comment. I have connections there and it’s always good to get broader perspectives like yours. Love Celia Cruz, as did my Cuban mother👊🏼❤️👊🏼
colorist was or is more than a "Thing" in Cuba, more like the "Whitening" of the entire race where the brought in white men just to dilute the race by breeding the black women. that was a thing
@@cozmowiz5593….l’ve watched much television and film coming out of Africa. Their biggest African stars were lightskin with curly hair or straight. I don’t want to get into a geography lesson on what part of Africa , etc. but they were African actors and actresses. Even now l can pull up a celebrated African wedding and the women are lightskin and gorgeous. The women surrounding Meghan Markle weren’t darkskin either. Seems all the darker ones come to the States to promote themselves because it’s not happening wherever they were in their homeland. 🤷🏻♀️
Whew this comment. I recently had a conversation with a family member who is a Boomer--I am a in my 40s. My family prides itself on cultural diversity yet are very colorist--saying comments like black as night or I have to stay out the sun so I don't get black. I have many thoughts on this..What we learn, we learn from our families. What about the children who hear this? No one really cares and its cruel. A standard is being set. Colorism is a problem all over--even in Arica and its many countries. I love how the diaspora is trying to build a broader conversation on blackness/what it means to be descended from Africa, yet its as if people are saying I am embracing myself--YOU-- yet I just don't want a certain phenotype. Its almost like the saying, give me your rhyme but not your blues. Whew Chile!!!!! Some people can jump in and out of the (black space) and this is causing harm. We should look at ourselves and say how can I not cause harm. Here are tangible things we can do : 1. Most platforms center this conversation around the perspective of adults but what about thinking of a topic in a child like view? I love the author bell hooks because she gave space in her work/books to talk about how colorism/anti-blackness effects children. Kids grow up to be healed/ unhealed adults. 2. Read more books not from your lens. A great book I would suggest is a book called is A Place To Belong by Amber O'Neal Johnston. Being Anti-black is not just for white or non-black people--anti-blackness is the root of all things. That may sound dramatic but people really need some help. Also I recommend Black People and self-esteem by bell hooks. 3.Call someone out when you hear an anti-black comments. I love how folks are sticking up for K.Harris but let's keep the same energy for our anti-black family members and friends. And we are all guilty of being anti-black, colorist in some way, so I am not judging. Each one teach one. Thanks for reading and I enjoy this vlog and your honest conversations.
So appreciate this! Actionable advice rocks!
Ugh! I want to listen now but I have to go up on Flatbush! I'll be back.
We’ll be here. Get a patty & cocoa bread for me 😂😂
Colorism cannot be dismantled without the active participation of light-skinned individuals. The key is not to redefine colorism to make it more inclusive but to accept its reality, approach it with empathy, and work towards redirection. Dark-skinned people face both racism and colorism. To truly understand this, start by exploring the implications of having skin as dark as a black knee. Think about the everyday microaggressions, like hearing someone say they need to avoid the sun because they're "black enough." In the workplace, consider whether dark-skinned people can effectively lead and delegate without being dismissed or undermined. Begin by asking yourself: What does it really mean to be dark-skinned? That’s where the conversation starts.

Interesting point. I think the question that should be first is Governance meaning who are black people and who are we to each other. Then, once we conclude equally we can then begin to build community. Not before. Our pride has to be on the same page Sooner than later
