I like that a l of images for ideas are presented. When I see something I like, I hit the pause button and scroll through manually.

No he didn't do the booty slap!!! Cute kid. I hope he stays that free and loose.

This is a classic comedic movie. I've watched it multiple times over the years. I'm a black female and I think it is lovely -- pure genius -- especially the dance scenes. We know we are grounded when we can laugh at ourselves. Anyone familiar with Steve Martin knows he would not be in a movie tha...

Here, Cee Lo is a class act, unlike that FU thuggish crap. I like t he classy Cee Lo. I think that is who he really is.

The Rorschach ink blot test images with this song is brilliant!!!

Real music is back: Thank God! Nice to hear lyrics that are pure poetry and are not sexually explicit. That's art with depth. Your voice has conviction. You are a prodigy of all the great soul singers of the past. I hope the world recognizes your great talent in this world of superficiality.

My sweet military babies. Glad you had some moments of fun. Keep dancing!

The guy closest to the camera has some flavah. I think he's holding back. They all need to move their arms. It's not Riverdance:-)

i sincerely believe that the Creator considers what is in the Rabbi's heart, not what is on his head. I like the word "Beloved."

Your family should have a reality show. You're funnier and more entertaining than the shows on TV. It would be like watching The Simpsons or Family Guy with real people.

Hey Gingerman, I love you. I know you are serious; however, your passion and rage make me smile. You don't have to apologize, but I personally appreciate it. Just proves that not all people with white skin are racist assholes and that in reality color really doesn't identify a person. If you're n...

I love my people so much. Their power is intrinsic and is evidenced in song. I will think about my ancestors every day until I die. I am so PROUD of them for all they endured. I ache for them.

Has anyone noticed that when the subject of slavery comes up in this country, someone ALWAYS try to downplay it by mentioning slavery in other countries, including Africa? But, mention South African Apartheid or the Holocaust, those same people denounce those atrocities with a fervor. They will h...

Nice. But I felt your pain at the end. Stuff happens!

I like this video because it shows that a frame can be made without a lot of expensive equipment or gadgets. It shows yet another way of completing an old craft, giving people options. Great for the hobbyist. Also, I understood the men perfectly. They're speaking that strange language called "re...

Singing the blues (pain) away. The real deal. Everything else is imitation. An incomprehensible depth of soul and suffering are required to sing authentic blues. I love my ancestors. Thanks to "hantori" who recognized the importance of this video and posted it.

Ya'll so crazy good. Took me a minute to figure out which one is Momma. A family that dances together stays together. Keep having fun!

I see people doing the jerk, the pony and the horse, but no one is doing the watusi.

As a fitness instructor, the moves work for me. Fortunately, I'm not a dance purist. I'll take the basic steps and modify them to increase the intensity. I especially like the pivots. Also, the short dress allows me to see lower torso movements better.

God, I miss real music (singing, originality, etc.) sooooo much. Sick of rap. Sick of "sampled" (imitation) music. What happened to us musically? Eyes tearing now. Must go dig out the vinyls.

I did the twist to this in first grade. Now I listen to it while cruising with the top back on my car. Socially, this group was way ahead of its time.

Too, too sweet for words.

Wow. What can I say? Well, it looks like they're having fun. I don't thing they're taking themselves too seriously.

Very cute. A nice tribute to Mr. Hammer - imitation is the greatest compliment. Keep dancing together!!!

To HerxUtub: I see you have your neo-nazi/skin-head calling card. All of you preach the same dogma ad nauseam. Negro? Yes, and proud of it. At least I'm not a genetically, watered-down version of a Negro, who by the way, ARE your ancestors . And, I don't have that disgusting maggot skin like you...

He's a whole hunka' hunka' man. As caronell said, actors today can't compare.

When did "drives me insane" take on a positive connotation? That's like saying, "I was only kidding" after insulting someone. It would be nice if people would say what they mean in public forums. The English language has gone to hell in a hand basket.

He had a beautiful spirit, which shined through his music. It's tragic when people can't see past the exterior.

whiteliketar: Is this an original poem? I love it. I think about my ancestors and I'm sure others do also.

Men all over the world have historically feared Black men. They show their fear and impotence most when they resort to childish name-calling. Strong men would call the brother out and confront him face-to-face instead of hiding behind this forum like a sniveling coward. Why not blame the DR ch...
