By the likes of Ta-Nehisi Coates, Hughes would no doubt be branded a "Native Informant", a "House Negro", an "Uncle Tom"...

ADDED: (30/3/26): Coleman wrote a great book in 2024. “The End of Race Politics”, subtitled “Arguments for a Colorblind America”. I’ve got and read it. Very powerful book, which he turned into a popular, if controversial Ted Talk.
