Richie Incognito's Accidental Racism: An Apologia

[OttoVonBismarck]

I like the Atlantic but I intentionally avoid anything Ta-Nehisi Coates and Conor Friedersdorf write. They are both one trick idiots.

I love Ta-Nehisi Coates.

I like Conor. I used to read him, but I think he's gone off the tracks a bit. He seems very angry. All the time. Often at the wrong things.

Edit: On Coates, his series of articles and blogs about starting to read about the ACW, then developing a serious interest, then almost an obsession are brilliant. They inspired me to read a couple of books on the ACW and are generally very interesting and engaging and well-written.

I think probably you all would like something of them.

The fact that you like them both confirms I was smart to stay away from them. They both are overly-emotional writers that think far too highly of themselves and pontificate endlessly.
