You may have already read these essays of Coates' in The Atlantic as they were posted, but they're worth a revisit, especially when paired with introductions that contextualize where Coates was in his career and the thoughts as he wrote these pieces. The title comes from a quote at the end of Reconstruction, and it's pretty apt as we've entered a period where the segment who identify primarily as White want to reassert their power.
