If you’re not ready for the truth, stay in your bubble. But if you want to witness the most unfiltered, unapologetic, and necessary conversation of our time, then buckle up. Ta-Nehisi Coates and Joy-Ann Reid just dropped what can only be described as the Dialogue of the Decade at Baldwin & Co. bookstore in New Orleans—a conversation so raw, so real, and so utterly necessary that America might just pretend it didn’t happen. But we won’t let that happen.

In a world where soundbites pass for substance and political theater replaces real justice, Ta-Nehisi and Joy sat down to burn through the illusions and expose the rot at the core of America’s so-called values. And trust me, no one walked away unscathed.

Truth #1: America has never truly cared about Israel.
Truth #2: White America is still as racist as ever.
Truth #3: People only support you if they’re getting something in return.
Truth #4: Why Kamala Harris lost to Donald Trump.
Truth #5: Black authors are being banned for a reason.
Truth #6: The genocide in Gaza is funded by American tax dollars.

This wasn’t just another intellectual discussion—it was an awakening. And it happened at Baldwin & Co., the heartbeat of radical thought in New Orleans. If you missed it, fix that mistake now. Watch. Listen. Share. Because this is the most important dialogue you’ll witness this decade—and America needs to hear it.

Baldwin & Co. isn’t just a bookstore. It’s a battleground for truth. And last night, Coates and Reid went to war.
