Like I went out to a predominantly black club last night and nobody said anything and I was wishing somebody would so that someone would dance with me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Frankly, I think that's something that black people in America have often done - finding ways under very, very difficult circumstances to be subversive, but also to push things forward. And I think that applies to music. I think it applies to dance. I think it applies to a number of things.
All of my friends are really good dancers, which was initially why I never danced - we'd go out, and they would kill it, and I'd be like, 'Yeah, I'm just gonna sit at the bar.'
I was a clubber in the Nineties. I went dancing every week.
Black audiences are hard. They always think they're better than you. So you got to come with a little extra to satisfy them.
If I go into a club now, all the blonde girls leave my corner and all the black girls come into my corner. It's as if I'm racist towards white girls!
I realize that I'm black, but I like to be viewed as a person, and this is everybody's wish.
Black people dance well because we start early - there's music being played everywhere. White people? They don't start dancing until they get to college, and by then, it's too late; the bottom don't move with the top no matter how hard they try.
I would have young dancers come to me and ask me questions and want to know what my experiences were like: 'What's it like being a black dancer?' So I just felt like it was necessary for me to share my experiences with them.
I would never belong to any club that excluded anybody for race.
I've been in situations where I was the only black guy. We're in a time now where nobody wants to see that. But it still happens.
