Ta-Nehisi Coates - Transforming His Books Into Films | The Daily Social Distancing Show

[@Gjoy92]

Ta Nehisi-Coates is a straight shooter. Always intelligent and truth speaking and witty and real. So much love for you! Trevor Noah is such a fan of Ta Nehisi-Coates.

Congrats!!!

@Frumentarii I mean I don’t really like the guy but I will admit that is quite an hefty exaggeration.

[@marcusgruber4085]

I don´t think I´ve ever seen Ta-Nehisis so relaxed and at ease in an interview. He seems to trust Trevor and they have great chemistry

[@debbiedoodiedandi]

I love how at ease he is with Trevor.

It's a hard transition for parents to make. I'm not sure my parents ever really listened to me as a person until I was in my 30s. I kinda envy Coates' son in this situation.

i walked past Ta-Nehisi like 2 years ago by my job and it always irked me that i didn't realize it was him at first glance. would have been dope to give him props in person.

His run on Black Panther was EPIC! Everyone should read it! I think it's better than Watchmen!

Is his run self-contained enough that someone new to Black Panther would appreciate it? I haven't read Marvel comics in about a thousand years. 🤷

[@CaraRowen]

@@jospinner1183 I think so, it's really exceptional and I think one of the beautiful things about it how true to BP it is while still telling a very fresh and new story.

[@mlggamer5296]

It just goes to show the degree which movies and books differ is so wide. It can practically add something new that even the author is like "Well I didn't think about that when I wrote it" or it could not necessarily match the source material but this one did the first part. Adding dimensions to it.

[@tanyawalters8775]

I think things have gotten better in some ways but not in all ways. I am happy for his son. I have had talks with my daughter that is 15 now and when she was at school she had said they don't have bullying there. There are only a few black kids and they are treated equally which is awesome. We have had zoom meetings at work and a man who is mixed black and white said how he was bullied as a kid by both races but now his kids that are mixed the same as him are treated as equals. These examples of how people have changed give me hope that one day the people that are not racist will rise above the people that are racist. Have a great week everyone!
