Ta-Nehisi Coates Is Wrong, Donald Trump Is Not Our First White President

Was Ta-Nehisi Coates Wrong in Calling Trump Our First White President? Attorney Antonio Moore delivers a thorough, and sound critique of the new piece by Atlantic magazine writer Ta-Nehisi Coates on President Donald Trump titled, “The First White President”. In his reply on the Huffington Post titled, “Donald Trump isn’t our First White President, and he wont be our last”, Moore argues that Coates is incorrect in his assessment of Trump’s road to the white house, and wrong in juxtaposing Trump to President Barack Obama. Moore continues by laying out a cogent argument that at some level black celebrities from Serena Williams, to Sean “Puffy” Combs played a role of sorts, in branding Trump through association.
