As the war on Gaza enters its second year and Israel expands its attacks on Lebanon, we continue our conversation with the acclaimed writer Ta-Nehisi Coates.
His new book, The Message, is based in part on his visit last year to Israel and the occupied West Bank, where he says he saw a system of segregation and oppression reminiscent of Jim Crow in the United States. “It was revelatory,” says Coates.
Did it take an expert to observe racial slavery when it happened in the US? What a weird point.
That’s because you could actually observe slavery in the US. Have you ever been to Israel?
So only people in the US knew racial slavery was happening. Alrighty then.
