White girls CAN dance... after I learned from watching "Soul Train" and "American Bandstand." Yep, every Saturday. My strict Irish grandparents did a pretty good job of keeping me up like Rapunzel in the castle, but they did let me watch TV. The dog (Taffy), the cat (Toby), and I would get all crazy "jiving" around the living room.
I had my own early version of breakdancing... at various times I broke a lamp, a vase, the glass top on the coffee table, and nearly my tailbone.
I do believe the OP meant racial experience as in the experience of your race vs. the experience of our race. Not that you were racist.
Not sure how us watching that particular tv show made us less of a man than you but ok. Carry on...
You're right Dr. but pay him no mind because being a moron was prophesied as a sign of the times. Even if I used the word "cultural" vs. "racial experience" he still wouldn't have got it.

You're right Fancy was your version like electric boogaloo. Ha!
Host Larry Kane and dancers at KTRK studios, November 1966. (Tom Colburn : Chronicle file)
If you came of age here in the late 1950s and 1960s, then, as America reflected on the life of Dick Clark last week, you might have paused for a second or two and thought about “The Larry Kane Show,” which appeared on KTRK (Channel 13) Saturday afternoons.
You see, Kane was Houston’s version of Clark. Local youths could be seen dancing (impressively, more on that in a bit) to the latest hits or to a diverse batch of musicians ranging from Tony Bennett to Paul Revere and the Raiders.
The two-hour show ran on KTRK from 1959 to about 1971 and ended in 1972 following a short run on KPRC (Channel 2). By the 1970s Kane’s show was being syndicated across the country.
During the show’s run, Kane was also raising a family and attending law school at UH. The Houston native, born Harry A. Lieberman, graduated from San Jacinto High School as valedictorian. His start in broadcasting began in radio at KUHP in El Campo, and he eventually worked his way to KXYZ and KNUZ.
Yes, it was a simpler place and time. Most kids played outside doing sports, jump rope, hide and seek, Red Rover or, God Forbid, Cowboys and Indians. We had television and radio, The Lone Ranger And Tonto was a popular show for kids. There were no PCs, video games or smart phones. Movie theaters only showed one movie each. It became the era of Peace, Love and Dope. There was a war, but it was finally stopped after years of protests. There was no HIV, no Tea Party and no terrorists. You could still tell a good joke and not be accused of being racist, sexist or whatever.

I don't go that far back so the war stuff is beyond my experience but I played outside, rode my bike, picked berries, fought with other kids etc etc. However, Michael Jackson's Thriller and Billie Jean remained staples for all of the 80's and 90's. It was hard not to focus on music and dance. Then you had movies like Beat Street, Electric Boogaloo, and FAME they made dance more popular.

If I recall, you made it a racial thing, skippy.
I am not the one that is the moron in this thread. Keep it up, moron. You might need to adjust your mistress' return date, too.
