This is the AA forum. Most of the participants in this thread are black.

Your posts in this forum started out as difficult to understand their purpose, but they are becoming more incoherent now. If this is supposed to mean something

"the constant shifting of political identifiers is strange. There must be a reason for it. What is it? Are you using the broad brush "white liberals" because you believe black people think of whites in a broad brush fashion?"
then you'll have to explain it to someone else because I've lost interest.

It appears to me that you see Coates' piece as "superior" because it doesn't make you uncomfortable. You seem to take MUCH discomfort and pain from what Wise has written and are trying to use Coates' piece to deflect from what Wise has said without seeming to understand that both have come to the same page just from different angles. Might help for you to figure out exactly why Wise's piece bothers you so much.
this is such an excellent article SemperEadem Jan 2012 #1

Perspective for whom? Farrakhan never ran for president or any elected office Number23 Jan 2012 #6
"As Coates admits, even many blacks never liked Farrakhan" Plantsmantx Jan 2012 #8
It is your opinion that this is "head shoulders and then some above what Wise wrote" Number23 Jan 2012 #9
Provide what information? Plantsmantx Jan 2012 #10
It is clear that you have missed Wise's point and you seem to have missed Coates' as well Number23 Jan 2012 #12
