Over the last few days, there's been considerable conversation about Ta-Nehisi Coates's essay "Fear of a Black President." Over a hundred people have referenced and linked to the article on twitter. In addition, the article has been mentioned on news sites, tumblr, and at least a couple of television programs. Rarely does a long-form journalism piece by a black writer receive so much attention.
