  “…that book would fit in the backpack of somebody who truly sees other people as human beings first and foremost”

  From a Palestinian American, who grew up in Palestine but lucky enough to escape the horrors now living in America, thank you for this interview. I have cried almost daily for the past year, but this is one of the first times I had tears of joy. Thank you for that.

  This conversation went to so many places. THIS is how to talk to our fellow humans.

  This country immunizes us from thinking critically and feeling angry about injustice. CNN just posted an article today with the headline like: “No Food has entered Gaza in October…” Does the food have agency? Why is the food choosing not to go into Gaza? It’s ridiculous how much our govt and corporate media shield us from seeing why things are the way they are.

  Came for Ta-Nehisi Coates' and Trevor's discussion on Palestine, stayed for a surprisingly moving conversation about blackness and Black identity.

  I visited Israel and the West Bank in the 1990s.  I experience exactly what Mr. Coates writes about The Message.  I felt and saw the Jim Crow system there, and Israel oppression of the Palestinian people.  The Palestinian people are facing (have faced) far worse treatment, segregation, and oppression since the 1990s.  I grew up under Jim Crow and segregation in a racist Georgia.  I know oppression and a Jim Crow system when I feel it and see it.  POWERFUL AND ENLIGHTENING CONVERSATION!  Love it!!  "This is my Black podcast!"....love it!

  Trevor Noah’s question “What about the taxi driver?” got me. I’m ashamed to say I never thought about the innocent driver who gets k111ed as collateral damage and yet how many family members/people are dependent on him/her? How many people are you devastating when you thoughtlessly kill this one innocent person? Thanks Trevor. ✊

  Love that Last note from Trevor , if everything was removed the book would be in the backpack of someone who sees humanity.

  The man is a treasure to humanity. He speaks to the issues of our era the same way I imagine James Baldwin spoke to the issues of his own time.

  As a muslim immigrant growing up in America, I always felt welcome by the African American community. I never understood why until I learned about the US history.
