Lesbians: The New Niggers

I don’t usually title my entries but then again I don’t usually announce them ahead of time either. I think I may begin to do both at my new site when it becomes available per serena lucille’s schedule. (she’s sooooo cute. huny and Christopher are going to have their hands so full in 15 years or so. Maybe sooner)

I’ve been thinking about this issue for quite some time now. Ever since Ellen Degeneres started her talk show. I noticed how she quickly adopted what has become a staple in black television shows since the Cosby show two decades ago. The Intro Dance Number. Dancing the “Jig” has a long and storied history amongst black folks in America as the white slave masters saw little use for Niggers other than cheap labor, living and breathing sex dolls and entertainment. Dance, which at its central core is an expression of freedom and joy, becomes something else entirely when because of circumstance one is forced to do so. Whether a slave dances on command to entertain his master’s party guests or a woman dances to let the public see her as light-fare and in as non-threatening a light as possible, a Jig is a Jig.
