Hey interesting post.
This is totally off topic, but I agree with you in most part. White Americans are worse at American dances than black Americans.
Now, this may not go for everybody, but some of us born in Europe, were pretty good at European folk dances. I see the same thing with American square dancing. Most American dances have strong african roots, and this goes for many of the nations south of us too - Tango, Mambo, Samba, etc are all African names actually. It may be that dance is something so basic to human culture that it is actually "in the blood" Dance is a part of white history too though, and for that matter a part of American Indian history. I believe it is important that these traditions be presereved and celebrated. Not that one kind of dancing is all there is, and the rest can't dance if they don't dance like that. Make sense?
Now, as for the penis, that's a little different. It's not something you possibly could learn. What are your thoughts on that?

But seriously, the reason there is a myth about white people being unable to dance is because there is a lot of truth to it. Sorry bud its the truth, just like white men can't jump. Sure some can dance, some can dunk a basketball (  ), but more often than not your average white person is stiff as hell as scared of the dance floor.
Whereas African Americans as a whole tend to move better on the dance floor, because dancing was a part of their past and is in their genes (malcolm x talks about this in his autobiography). Hawaiians demonstrate similar abilities in their movements, because dancing is so much a part of their culture and history.
Remember people, its not ALL, its just in GENERAL. |
