I think I've been a bit unfair to Coates in the past because I've felt like, outside of "The Case for Reparations" his writing reads like "James Baldwin-light". But I think he listens to criticism and I want to go back and finish Eight Years (I DNF'd it after re-reading the Reparations chapter) and read his new book The Message.
