Ta-Nehisi Coates in "Between the World and Me" presents a powerful exploration of race and its implications in society. He argues that race is constructed and serves more to entrench existing social hierarchies than to clarify differences among people. Coates believes that the concept of race often distracts from the real issues of injustice and inequality while perpetuating systemic problems faced by African Americans. By stating that "race itself is just a restatement and retrenchment of the problem," Coates emphasizes that the term does not address the underlying issues of oppression. Instead, it simplifies complex social dynamics into a label that ultimately fails to resolve the inequalities that persist. He urges readers to look beyond superficial categorizations and confront the deeper societal structures that contribute to racial injustice.
