On Being with Krista Tippett and Ta-Nehisi Coates [CC]

[@junioralmozard6460]

Great Conversation We learned a lot from this Guy as always thank you all for having him.

[@natejones6700]

I have listened this five times this week and find myself still coming back to it. I particularly like 5:26- 11:00. That section is profoundly meaningful and rich.

[@junioralmozard6460]

I know right I’m doing the same Great Convo talking about Superfood.

[@tuckyjoe4693]

I actually finds this interview to be one of the best, both where genuine and appeared to have respect for each other.

[@rosemaryalles6043]

Ta-Nehesi Coates inspires us all to be more human, more authentic, more empathic.

[@cynthiabradford7158]

He teach us to love your self again. We hate our self 's we the negro we want recreate another little one of ourself 's

[@Sonturist]

People who love knowledge and learning love you books.

I love Coates and what he says in the intro "ancestor reverence, not ancestor worship". He seems so smart. I wrote a memoir. I'm a college student. Coates is a published writer and he is a popular Black writer. I think he's just so cool. Coates says he was influenced by poets or poetry. I'm a poet. I have to get his book.

[@junioralmozard6460]

You made a great point I was thinking the same “ ancestor reverence” also Ayesha we wish you well in your endeavors TA-NESI is definitely one of my favorite writers that’s my Guy.

[@soneil]

Very smart guy. I was disappointed that he didn’t feel able to answer some of the questions from the audience. It may just be dawning him that people are interested in his general views; not because they think that he has all the answers, but because they respect his intellect. So many people give their opinions, in the absence of intellect or knowledge. It would be great to hear Coates’ thoughts; he is far more qualified and more thoughtful than the majority of social commentators.

I love anything krista tippett does

[@headlessspaceman5681]

This interview would have been better conducted by almost anyone else.

[@geekmeee]

Thank you for your opinion and world view.

[@inspirationalpostbyleverso6263]

Lost in a Bermuda triangle of the mind, wow.

[@christenasmalls6118]

Before God eradicates evil he must exposed it. He usually provides those who commit evil to see themselves and to choose life or death. He usually is a God who seeks the individual to understand what is happening while staying mysterious. This is that when disaster comes it is known that all power and authority in heaven and earth is in his hands.

[@ShizukaRose]

I’ve been watching a lot of lectures/seminars of Coates and other black writers lately...why are they usually so awkward?? And it’s usually the facilitators fault.

[@DefSquadFan]

Man....this interviewer is pretty bad. I'm glad I don't have to take her class.

[@apocalypsepow]

they all seem intimidated

[@Blackufi]

You perceiving them as "awkward", perhaps, has less to do with them being black, and more to do with their "brilliance". After all, brilliance is a trait that makes those who posses it distinct from me, you & everybody else. Have you ever met a highly intelligent person who was "normal"?

[@junioralmozard6460]

I think she did a good job.

[@vitocorleone8323]

Why didn't she ask him about how he feels about white liberals gentrifying Harlem while blacks are still not rented to in even the most liberal neighborhoods that surround Harlem? Gonna remove that comment too?

[@shavedata5436]

The one thing I don't get is how you could believe all of this and think more government is the answer.

[@topgurl9313]

I don't know what kind of hope white people are looking for but do I find hope in white people who genuinely care and seek truth instead of indulging in America's lies.

[@Naimasturn]

I cannot believe that I sat through this foolishness. Krista Tippet is nearly unwatchable. I struggled, painfully, through to the end. Because she is such a worthless interviewer, his responses seemed tortured. Coates managed to not be completely awful, despite the awful circumstances.

[@DefSquadFan]

You are correct. She is very affected. I was waiting for her to ask him what kind of tree he would be.

[@lukewilson125]

I agree. Her constant attempts to reframe everything to fit her viewpoint are insipid.

[@domenicming9551]

That avant-guard response to her question about "what can [white people] do to fix racism" got me kinda tight. I expected a more direct set list of things. Cause there are direct things white people, especially those with money can do.

[@inderguecyravix2781]

I thought she in her thirties.

[@rihamalieldin7687]

at least try to answer some of the questions!! This was so cringy to watch!

[@flyingspacerock8968]

She is terrible. He is horrible at anwsering questions from the audience members. Especially the 17 year olds

[@MH-ro3ww]

Flying Spacerock they don’t match his intellect

[@Jim_OHara]

This was hard to watch. They both are complete shit.

[@piolin23iq]

“We lie with word but we also lie silently. America has to learn to speak about this complicated issue. And that’s that!!!!

[@layiodube8458]

@@Jim_OHara And you are obviously a genius? You could teach both of them a thing or two, that's why you've been a sensation yourself isn't it?
