After reading Between the World and Me‚ I was able to obtain key knowledge from Coates. To further help me understand this knowledge‚ I had to recognize the central theme of Coates’ work. The message that Coates was trying to reveal is the idea that people build false realities‚ and they live through these realities as an authentic way of life. An example of one false reality would be the idea of race. Coates mentions that “Americans believe in the reality of ‘race’ as a defined‚ indubitable feature

In other words‚ the only reason for whiteness to exist is the power that it endows—to subjugate and exploit people who do not map onto whiteness. Moreover‚ Coates notes‚ that which maps onto whiteness is mutable: “some of these straight-haired people with blue eyes have been ‘black’”

He backs this statement by saying that White people only think they are white because it gives them their power and privilege. He goes on to explain that White people don’t think they are racist. They see just differences in wealth

One of the figures whom resonated with me the most was Ta-Nehisi Coates. Coates’ ethical lenses have been shaped by his experience growing up in Baltimore. Coates lived in constant fear which impacted the way he viewed everything around him. His fear was not changed until he attended Howard University‚ where he gained knowledge.
