Ta Nehisi Coates has a new article out in The Atlantic October 2017. It's online.

That man is a very gifted writer, essayist & thinker. Donald Trump Is the First White President is the name of the article.
He had an interview w/ Rachel Martin on NPRs Morning Edition today that I found sad& hard to listen to, it's also online now.

For me, it is a slow thoughtful read, with many scrolls up to recheck a citation. That article is gonna splat over whole groups of people.

Halfway through it and had to stop to copy/paste some priceless gems of insights that we all know but can't express simply and elegantly as the master thinker/writer.

Thank you very much for posting!
