I've seen Ta-Nehisi Coates touted as an authority for years, and I honestly never looked into his background.

As he has all the attention of Jumblr and the Jewish community right now, I decided to actually do a cursory look.

Bruh.

Someone who is touted and lauded as a great expert and authority by the Left actually has no credentials whatsoever?! He went to Howard for 5 years and then dropped out to start his journalism career.

Coates states that "Howard trained him intellectually" and just.. no. No it did not.

You didn't finish an undergrad degree my guy. That's barely giving you any training in intellectual thinking and rigor.

It honestly appears that Coates has been given an "authority" pass because he is speaking as a Black Man on Black history and Black issues that currently effect or have effected Black people.

But now?

Now he's taken that "authority" and is using it to speak on issues that he has no relation to beyond traveling to the area for a small amount of time in 2023. He has no understanding, relationship, or education on anything relating to Israel, Palestine, or the Levant. It's reminiscent of Nobel Disease, where an well regard authority in one subject matter starts talking out their ass about something else (e.g. Linus Pauling and vitamin C).

Now, some of you are going to attack me for this because something something privilege and academia and I'm talking about someone who is arguable well regarded. But I'm sorry, dropping out after 5 years to pursue your career, not even have the credentials for said career, and now take that uncredentialed pseudo-expertise and apply it to something you have no relationship to at all?

That's just asinine.

I honestly think this tweet by Montefiore sums it up nicely.

Let's also not forget that Ta Nehisi Coates was taught by his father, Paul Coates, to be antisemitic and literally view this entire situation through America's Issues. Paul Coates was a member of the Black Panthers, which for all the good they did do and have done you also have to remember that antisemitism is baked into the group. The BPP was influenced by the Nation of Islam and Marxism-Leninism and Mao, so they were literally influenced by some of the most antisemitic organizations, groups, people, and rhetoric in the 20th Century outside of Nazis. This means that Ta Nehisi Coates likely grew up with antisemitic rhetoric and conspiracy being prevalent and accepted throughout his life. For example, take this excerpt from his book The Message:

Now also consider that his father's publishing company was also caught republishing an extremely antisemitic book that spreads conspiracy, hate, and misinformation.

So yeah.

Sorry folks.

But Ta Nehisi Coates is just spouting NOI and Tankie antisemitic conspiracy and rhetoric wrapped in progressive pseudo-academic professional language.
