Warning: This is not going to be a thread about:
(1) Whether racism is really a problem in America
(2) Whether racism is just a subset of classism
(3) How you're not racist
--and particularly not:
(4) Random ventings about Obama -- from right or left -- that aren't germane to the political and cultural difficulties that Coates is talking about here.
Coates is making some very nuanced, long-wave points about race in America, and about the lived experience--and concomitant fears, anxieties, etc.--of white and black Americans over many generations of difficulty.
If you aren't prepared to engage with at least some of that, please don't get in the way of people who are.
