A spokesperson for a people, for a people without a spokesperson

By Ta-Nehisi Coates
I have heard, and been moved, by your desire to be as stereotyped, dehumanized and generally strawmanned in the manner that this blog does white and black people. Why should only the blacks have a Lando Calrissian? Why should only the whites have a John Rich? Why should only the Asians have a...Oh. Wait..

Anyway, my Hebros (as Goldberg would say), I have been moved. And given our common penchant for the bad end of history, I promise not to big foot you the way I did Whitey. Fuck the goyim (Wait, does that include me???) Anyway, nominations are now open. Lierberman? Silverman? Rahm the Space-Knight? Who shall lead you to the Promised Land?
