I read that Black people have 35 different skin tones. How many different hair textures and features do we have? We're the only race of people who can look like any other rave and still be Black. President Obama is biracial but looks Black. I know plenty Black people who can pass for other races.

This dancing is utterly ridiculous. Some of these moves are so fast they are a blur that I would have to slow down to figure out what they were doing. It's like slowing down a Charlie Parker or John Coltrane recording to figure out what they were doing. I'll have to do it 1 frame at a time.
