Kind of assumed this was your outlook. I actually agree that people would benefit from reading Coates's perspectives, but not from adopting them (largely for the reasons set out here: http://www.lrb.co.uk/v37/n23/thomas-...ms/loaded-dice).
In contrast, you would benefit from listening to Glenn Loury talk about race issues: http://bloggingheads.tv/programs/glenn-show.
