"We Were 8 Years in Power"...
"What Happened?"
Coates is on the morning talk shows,
Clinton is closing out the late-nights.
They really should hook up and maximize their book sales with a joint book tour. Same audience, right?
Coates: "I came from a black world. ... Being that there aren't too many people with this kind of audience I just feel like I got to represent that to the fullest and be really direct and clear about that. And push these people, man, because they need to be pushed. They need to be made uncomfortable, like we're uncomfortable. We got to make it hot, because it's hot for us."For the record, I don't think he'll push her.
That's a ruse. It's just rhetoric, really.

Meanwhile, Maureen Dowd works overtime trying to sell us on Idris Elba as a leading man for Kate Winslet, in a way the tabloids think they have to spin the Prince Harry and Megan Markle fairytale romance of star-crossed lovers...
Eh. Biracial romances are so yesterday they are barely worth mentioning, let alone analyzing the long-term cultural barriers. If women don't find Elba attractive, it might be more for his backstory than his color. Really.
(and one hopes that Harry really loves the gal, not the idea of being in love with a biracial beauty who would help him too, break barriers... Once broken, how long until the heart wanders looking for something newer still? I wish them well, but the way their story is being spun, one wonders...)
