I'm just gonna use this comment to shout out /r/washingtondc/. SUCK IT TREBEK!

Can you convince Ta-Nehisi Coates to do an AMA as well?

Sweet. I'd love to see him debate a few redditors on the issue of race.

Of course it would be very cool to ask him questions about computer games, political theory, and poetry, I'd love to see that. But you can't deny that his area of expertise (at least one of them anyway) is in his analysis of historic and contemporary racism in America.

And I don't think we've had very many AMA's that discuss the way race works in America, it would expose a lot of people to new ways of thinking.

TIL Jimmy Carter asked for the resignations of every member of his Cabinet. And this was, what, 5 years after Watergate, 6 after the end of the Vietnam War? If I was around then, I wouldn't have very much faith in my federal government either, I can see how Reagan would have been a compelling candidate.
