Ta-Nehisi Coates is an author and journalist. His next book is\xa0The Message.\n\u201cI don\u2019t think we have the luxury as journalists of avoiding things because people might say bad things about us.

I don\u2019t think we have the luxury of avoiding them because somebody might cancel some sort of public speech that we have. I then have to ask you, what are you in it for?

Because there are many other things where you could make more money.\u201d\nShow notes:\n\nta-nehisicoates.com\n\nCoates on Longform\n\nLongform Podcast #7: Ta-Nehisi Coates\n\nLongform Podcast #97: Ta-Nehisi Coates\n\nLongform Podcast #168: Ta-Nehisi Coates\n\nLongform Podcast #225: Ta-Nehisi Coates\n\nLongform Podcast #360: Ta-Nehisi Coates and Chris Jackson\n\nLongform Podcast #408: Ta-Nehisi Coates\n\n04:00\xa0"Fear of a Black President"\xa0(The Atlantic \u2022 Sep 2012)\n\n05:00\xa0The Beautiful Struggle\xa0(One World \u2022 2009)\n\n12:00\xa0"The Case for Reparations"\xa0(The Atlantic \u2022 Jun 2014)\n\n13:00\xa0Between the World and Me\xa0(One World \u2022 2015)\n\n36:00\xa0"The Mask of Doom"\xa0(New Yorker \u2022 Sep 2009)\n\n40:00\xa0"How Tech Giants Cut Corners to Harvest Data for A.I."\xa0(Cade Metz, Cecilia Kang, Sheera Frenkel, Stuart A.
