She assumed a MoC HAD to not be getting it. Instead of seeing someone saying 'Why are you throwing your pearls before swine and crying about it?'

Also, if she was bothered by this, it's pretty funny how she just took the MoC who said something she found "problematic" and gave the, "oh, but if white writers said something racist, you would be mad!". 1) Because of course, there is only the dichotomy of male PoC/white women here, the fact that women of color exists escapes her and of course she had to play Oppression Olympics. 2) When white cis able men said sexists things... well, they are just assholes, but they don't get privileged people schooling them about their own oppression and how they would feel (which she may have felt Coates did, I don't know). 3) Of course, don't get white men who talked shit about this issue -which, I bet you could find-, find other MoC and, again, find the chance to talk about an oppression you have no idea about!

(And dude, Coates may have talked from his position. Because these same people weren't there when Naipaul talked shit about people like Coates, and he just had to... go on.)
