Nigger* Trash Talk'n Hisself.

Hoo boy!
It's a self-love fest over at the TNC Twitter feed tonight!

That boy is celebrating hisself -- his GENIUS self!
(I wonder if the foundation ever had one as self-congratulatory as this...)

Whoosh!
----------------

* Sorry for the lack of trigger warning, but I never did buy Mr. Coates' NYT argument that white people are outlawed from using the word nigger, which floats so freely in our shared world today and is such a fitting description, when used in proper context.

(They ought to try finding a black woman genius next year, to avoid all the animalistic posturing and dick waving that Coates is publicly engaging in over there today. Tone it down day one, already, so you have something in the tank for the five-year ride?)


MORNING UPDATE: Looks like Sir GENIUS boy had some second thoughts. He's pinned a congratulatory Gwen Ifill tweet up over last night's dick-waggling fest, and the Oscar Wilde/James Joyce quotes aren't up on the front page anymore either.

"Back to Work": it will be interesting to see how far Coates will now advance his creative case for racial reparations with almost half a million dollars now backing his work.

No excuses now, with the wealthy whites bankrolling the work: It's put up or shut up time.
Can Coates make a credible and convincing case for reparations that the legal scholars were unable, mining the same research? All the day-after dick waggling, and "ME GENIUS, YOU SUCK" trashtalk don't make the convincing job any easier...

"Ta-Nehisi Coates ‏@tanehisicoates 12h12 hours ago
GENIUS can't be purchased. One can't simply pick up GENIUS at the supermarket. You either have GENIUS. Or you suck."

That's the insecure nigger in him still trash talking, all the way to the bank to cash the BIG man's check. (Like with Jesse Jackson -- read his biography/background if you haven't already--, I think the Coates black man has outmaneuvered his "movement". All about ... HIMSELF.

But that's cool. Paris is fine in the springtime, I hear.
Just don't expect to see him working the streets of South Side Chicago anytime soon. Win-ner!
