The Coates Chronicles: The White Period

In July of 2008, not too long before he was hired by The Atlantic, Ta-Nehisi Coates posted on his personal blog a short, light note, "Some Friday Fun: Race and the Electric Slide." It featured a video, now lost to the Adobe Flash-heap of history, which I’m guessing from context showed some white people doing a surprisingly solid performance of the electric slide, or possibly an inter-racial group of people doing the slide.
