Coleman Hughes Made Weak Arguments — What Explains His Meteoric Rise? He’s a Convenient Foil For ‘New Racists’ (Really, its somehow Black People’s Fault)
<p>Coleman Hughes is an <em>undergraduate </em>in Philosophy at Columbia, currently a leading voice and commentator on all issues pertaining to black people and the struggle against racism in America. To hear the number of times and the number of people he’s been cited by, you’d think he was a veteran scholar of racism and racial history in the United States. Spoiler alert — he is not. This, in and of itself is not a disqualification of course.
