Video Flagged Dead

Why The ORIGINAL "Harlem Shake" Didn't Go Viral

Answer: it actually requires skill.

None of the moves require anything but the most base level of skill, and some require none. Futhermore, the choreography is horrendous as almost no moves flows logically to the next and nothing follows the music. Thanks for perpetuating a racist stereotype once again, sift.

Show me a dance move that is "logical". I'd say dancing and 'soul' in general is a cultural trait... not racial.

"Racist stereotype"? So, black people can't dance without being.. racist? It would be very, very different if this were a bunch of whites in blackface making fun of a dance move originating in African-American culture, of course, but that is not what it is.
As for your first sentence, please link us to a yt video of yourself proving how such moves require little to no skill.

African-Americans dancing well is a racial stereotype. A video of African-Americans dancing well is not, in itself, perpetuating a stereotype. The title and the description of this video, in light of the very low skill dance moves it contains being done by African-Americans, is helping to perpetuate the racial stereotype.
