Well... in short... no.

Dancing comes natural if you're uninhibited and have some innate rhythm and soul.

Stick to ballroom, floor, and polka. Or take some pro lessons!

Frank the Tank · 08-25-2005, 12:31 PM

But chicks don't dig Polka!!

SoulOfTheFlame · 08-25-2005, 12:31 PM

Polka chicks do!

Q. What are your thoughts on the term "African-American". Most of my friends who are black are originally from Jamica or Trinadad and kinda hate the term. Probably doesn't help that they see themselves as 100% Canadian either.

Q. Do you experience any racial bias from people on a regular basis? If so in what situations?

Well... African-American is usually (in my experience) used in the states more than up here. I have never been bothered by it (my parents are from Barbados). I suppose I'd rather be called a "black guy" than an "African American" though.

Racial bias happens on a pretty regular basis, however most of the time it's just the stereotypical cute stuff like: He can play basketball, he likes rap, he's got big >feet<.

All of which I enjoy and have fun with.

I encounter some not-so-fun bias from time to time, but it doesn't happen to any serious degree that often where I live.

Okay I'll ask the obvious racial stereotype question for the ladies and the gay guy . . . . . is it true, you know, about, you know . . . being, uh, like, dimension-wise, you know . . . ?

heres a tuff one...(no racial slur intended...yeesh)

Do you call your black friends or brothers...umm...errr...n1gger?

And if so...why is it inferred as a negative if us round eyes use the same term?

CaramonLS · 08-25-2005, 12:58 PM

Did you get a lot of action in highschool from girls who were curious?

**edit**

And did they "ever go back"

Do your Black friends bug/tease you for being a Hockey Fan? As I had many Black friends back in High School and a high majority (8 out of 10) of them hated Hockey.

Well, I can't speak for all the black dudes, but I've had some satisfying compliments from the women in my life.

Do white people really like Wayne Brady because he makes Bryant Gumble look like Malcolm X?

LOL

Okay... In short sometimes. To us, it's different when we use it. And we both have round eyes :P

You guys had the word for long enough, let it go.

Highschool? No.

College? well...

Yes, some go back. Some don't.

I dunno! Ask a white dude!

I like Wayne Brady because he's cool enough to have a sense of humor about himself (chappelle's show).

No. We usually have funnier stuff to bug each other about.
