Before “Rape Dat Ho”… We Used to Actually Dance!

Judging by some of the dances the young kids do today, one would think that we have lost all creativity within our culture.
I wonder if these kids realize how influential our culture was on the collective culture of this nation and the rest of the world.
Here are a couple of clips from the 30’s-50’s showing how talented we were. Notice how the men actually move their feet while dancing.

Looks like some “coonin’” for sure!
Black culture is a joke. All they do is talk about sex, drugs, and violence. Then they complain on how thw whie man is destroying their community. Even their so-called preachers are sex addicts. looka th the one they keep talking about on this site. Reverend Newton the “Pedophile Prophet.” Ha hA hA
Two reasons why Black culture is better than no culture…can we say big jim and uncle kracka.
lol! You enjoy this but make sure that your kids aren’t following, especially as most other cultures are trying copy Black culture or the lack of it. A large amount of money is being spent on rap music by those that aren’t Black
Yes there was a time when we danced. The American culture is in a downward slide and has been not just Black culture. This slide I attribute to such things as the removal of the 10 Commandments from the classrooms, Dr. Spock telling all, and the courts going along with it that, you should not spank your child.
The youth of today have no sense of what is right or wrong. All that matters is if it feels right to them. There is no such thing as absolute right. There was a time when your child knew not to misbehave in public, when they had respect for elders. There was a time when our kids dressed like kids instead on miniature adults. They had respect for them selves.
We have allowed the words “ho”, bi@tch, and “slut’ to become common place every day words in our vocabulary in our right of freedom of speech. BTW, this is something I noticed with my white friends but not with other minorities. In our communities before you used those words you had to be ready to fight, to defend your self. Yes now we have so called dances like “Rape dat Ho” if you really want to call it dancing. The principal and any adult supervision should be disciplined, or was there no adult supervision at either the talent show or the dance.
Back in the day rap was a voice with a message but somewhere along the way the message has changed and not for the better. If there was no message it was fun, now it is acceptable for Snoop to walk on stage with women females on leashes.
So I guess the bottom line is to teach our daughters, nieces etc. to have respect for themselves and the young men will have to follow.
