I've been listening to Coleman for several years now, but this is the first time I think I've read him, and it was outstanding. His take-down of the Israel-as-apartheid state was masterful.

Because it was not the primary focus of the article, I don't think it was a huge issue, but I do think that Coleman's description of the emigration of Black Americans to Liberia (including the various colonies that would later merge into Liberia) might strike the informed mind as a bit . . . off. Technically, all the Black people leaving the US for Liberia were "volunteers", but many of them only volunteered because it was their only route to emancipation.
