@@ClemmonsX How is that brutality? The IDF didn't firebomb the hospital - something caught fire and burned people alive. It happens in war. The IDF fought many wars where it didn't harm civilians. Civilians get harmed when they are used for cover by terrorists. There have been many conflicts in the world in the 20th and 21st centuries. Nearly all of them are far bloodier than the Israeli-Arab conflict. But only one side in one conflict thinks it's okay to murder athletes at the Olympics and kidnap little babies. Is that the side you are on?

If woke individuals can be so idealistic to call for the abolishment of police and prisons, why not the same be asked of us as far as the crimes we commit, and the harm we do to one another. Why is their idealism so narrowly focused? Why are they so inconsistent in applying wholistic, structural, and systemic approaches to problems?

Mr. Coates during that CBS interview, it reminded me of what taking control and being superior looks like. The interviewer from CBS stated, "Stip your name, your acolytes, and all that is you. Then he call you extremist." The same thing is done when a person is enslaved. Strip a person of their name, their culture, and their humanity.

I have watched CBS nearly every morning for years. I have become fond of Tony. And then this interview happened and it reminded me of the times I’ve been in a work space with white people I thought liked and respected me who then undermine my Black experience any time I brought up something negative that happened because of my race… Tony did exactly what we needed him to do. We know oppression exists. We underestimate what oppression looks like in our seemingly harmless everyday interactions. That interview was a perfect example of just that. I then bought the book because of HOW Ta-Nehisi responded. I aspire to respond as beautifully as he did to such a disheartening moment to his work and perspective. I have now finished the book and I am more enlightened than I ever expected to be about both Palestinian and Israeli issues and even my own challenges as a Black woman and the white America I exist in. Ta-Nehisi did exactly what we needed him to do in being the intellect and empath that it took to write this book and contribute to positive change in humanity. Well done and great timing! 👏🏾

I’m a retired college English professor from Tennessee and Florida, conservative states in the Southeast. I enjoyed Between the World and Me, which I admired immensely as an open-ended intellectual journey. Some writers have everything plotted out, but I think the greatest literature is composed via inductive logic, in which you don’t know exactly where you’re going. I think this is the way you learn from writing, an experience you share with your reader. Mr. Coats is a writer like this. There’s always a search going on. Moreover, I see that even after the book is written, the journey continues. I know I’m not not the first to make the comparison (I think I am preempted by Toni Morrison, no less), but there’s a quality about Mr. Coast’s writing that is in the tradition of James Baldwin. After I finished Between the World, I went back and reread The Fire Next Time, and the quality is there, definitely. I am eager to read the new book. I’m a white guy, listening from the audience in more ways than one, but believe me, I was a voracious listener of this fascinating conversation.

I’m listening to Ta-Nehisi Coates on The Trevor Noah Show as he describes his experience in Gorée, Senegal, watching the ships that once transported enslaved people to the United States. He speaks about the astonishment he felt when, after all the effort to separate myth from reality, the beliefs we carry can still blur the line between the two, even when facing the truth. As a psychiatrist in Manhattan, I can relate to this feeling. Despite my training and knowledge, I’m often struck by how easily I can be deceived by someone with antisocial personality disorder (a sociopath), even when I have prior information about their condition.

We need more humans like him. A couple of notes I had issues with. Noah said the Israeli in Israel don't get to watch and know what's going on in Gaza and the West Bank. Yes, they do. Each one of them serves in the army first of all. Secondly, they can get their news through other media than the Israeli TV. They heard of Tic Tok which many of them are on it. There is Facebook, Instagram and so on. No excuse. The other point which the lady interviewer (sorry didn't get her name, but liked her) mentioned. Please you cannot compare those Jews who left their own home land in Morocco or Europe by choice to go to Israel with people who were forced to leave like us Palestinians. Judaism is a religion you can practice anywhere. It's not a nationality. Please don't compare. It's wrong. And if you ask many Jews move to Israel because they get offered free homes on my Palestinian land, get paid and enjoy the weather. I know what I am talking about. I am Palestinians.

People were almost harassing Trevor about speaking on the matter for a year, not understanding that he was voluntarily removing himself from the conversation and they can not bully him into speaking. He spoke about it when he felt he had to do it. In the previous interview with a zionist he remained almost silent and let Christiana ask the hard questions and do the follow ups, because she is not only a great interviewer, but also someone who shares his point of view about the genocide. He allowed a mild zionist to speak on his show so he can have that perspective, and then invited someone who shares his values and opinions and speak freely about it. People like to jump to conclusions too quickly.

Proud Howard graduate here; I ran into Ta-Nehisi Coates on the campus one summer maybe in 2018?, and was star struck; I had just finished “Between the World and Me“, and was in a phase where I was still grappling with my own identity. Fun fact, I was in a car with my friend, who was actually a 6th generation descendant of Harriet Tubman that day 🥰 but anyway, I managed to utter my words of admiration towards his Book and how inspiring it was. I am west-african originally and can relate to all 3 panelists, having lived in the US for 20+ years. And I believe the unresolved emotional feeling Mr. Coates is sensing us that feeling of loss, because we did lose each other. There was a former faculty member who worked at the Howard University school of education, opened a panel discussion by saying something along the lines of “while Americans were enslaved, those who remained were colonized”! And I recall thinking “YES… yes, that’s it!” Us Africans, who stayed behind also had our version of an oppressive reality we were dealing with. Gosh, I wish there was an audience to this podcast where I could chime in. This podcast also took me to a conversation Trevor had on Jay’s podcast where, I don’t know if you remember, you were discussing what the feeling of “Home” was, and Trevor, I loved your answer, because you said that home means something that is “familiar”, which is how you were able to explain or justify why you got along with people in India when you visited the country, and caught yourself joking, and understanding their humor; you said it was because it was “familiar”. That podcasts is one of my favorite ones, along with this one here with Mr. Coates. I also loved seeing Mr. Coates so relaxed, he should definitely visit more of Africa because we are a people full of hospitality, we love people and yes, we do tend to be relaxed and get comfortable around people we like 😅 🇹🇬🇧🇫 I also relates to this conversation because I lived in Saudi Arabia When I was in middle school and my siblings and I have a lot of friends from the Middle East and North Africa. It is a really difficult time for us, and is it a true brotherhood and sisterhood. Hopefully this genocide ends soon! But Trevor, you are right- it takes a different, self-conscious minded person to wanna question their own reality and want to seek the truth ♥️🌹 I believe I am one of those people, because of my exposure, I mean different cultures.

Apartheid applies to citizens of the same country being separated based on race. Gaza is not a country and the people that live there have their own elected leadership. They not Israeli citizens. 20% of Israeli citizens ARE Palestinian and they live utterly normal lives because their leadership is not homicidal but rather pluralistic and democratic. They are also not Black or people of color any more than Israelis are. You cannot tell an Israel from a Palestinian. And the fact is, that Palestinian leadership has been attempting to destroy Israel and has a genocidal charter that actually celebrates the idea of killing Jews. Israel has been dealing with rockets and suicide bombings and cries of a holy war from Hamas for decades upon decades aimed squarely at civilians. These situations have no congruence and I find it appalling that everyone seems to make excuses for Islamic extremist terrorism and cries for genocide against Jews. It's beyond hypocritical.

I`m German and a few years ago I red my Grandmas diary she wrote during WW2 (on my dads side). And I knew her as a child. In these diary entries between the horror and terror of war were sentences like "what has happened to the proud German military? How could it come this far?" And to this day I`m squaring the kind elderly lady that loved sneaking her grandson sweets my mom wouldn`t allow with someone who both lived through that horror but also who supported the 3rd Reich. And this goes to a sentence Mr. Coates said early: "Can I guarantee that I wouldn`t be taken in by such thoughts if I was the one suffering? I can`t!" My Grandma was a young woman who was enamored by the idea of the strapping lads in a military you could be proud of. She lived in a country that (for her as a white Christian German) was improving life ... until for her the foreign soldiers came and everything turned to horror. How many things would I look past to retain that bliss? I know I`m looking past many injustices in the world because living in a wealthy peaceful 1st world country is pretty sweet. Coming back to Mr. Coates sentence: Can I guarantee you where I would draw the line if I was in danger? I don`t think I can.
