This video speaks to some of the issues Colson Whitehead brings up in the first section of The Colossus of New York relating to authenticity and ownership in urban environments. We will discuss it in class because I’m curious to hear what you think. In particular, what is it about the “Harlem Shake” videos they’re shown that upsets the people interviewed here? Can you relate to their sense of offense, or does it seem like they’re making too much of a silly meme?
