Talking in France about Race in the United States

I'm in the process of writing a post about why Ta-Nehisi Coates is one of my favorite writers and definitely my favorite blogger.  In the meantime, here is an interesting video from his blog: he talks about the role of white supremacy in our country’s history and the Trayvon Martin case as one piece of that history.  To me, it seems like a nice balanced view but some of it is harsh.  It’s not a short video—23 minutes of focused talk and another 10-15 minutes of Q and A on a number of topics.
