@QwertyQwer9502 @thechosenjuan19 @izamamaa You can't have the dance without both pieces of the puzzle

@QwertyQwer9502 @thechosenjuan19 @izamamaa Saying Irish dance only "slightly influenced" tap is like saying the wheels only "slightly influenced" the invention of the car. The precise, rigid footwork structure came directly from Irish jigs, while the complex, syncopated rhythms came from African traditions

There’s no diagetic audio because they’re all calling each other “faggot” and “retard”

@Purrl471 The South just marketed it best, but it belongs to the whole country
English
@Purrl471 What are you on about weirdo? "y'all" has always been a general American term. Its roots trace back to Scots-Irish immigrants in the 1700s (with early records in New York), and it spread nationwide via AAVE during the Great Migration
English
@thechosenjuan19 @izamamaa it's wild how people try to erase that history. The truth is, early African American performers actively learned and took a ton of footwork structure from Irish jigs, but suddenly everyone wants to forget that connection when it doesn't fit their narrative
English
@thechosenjuan19 @izamamaa Let me get in my time machine and show them. The shit y'all post. Everyone still pretending like the Irish haven't had a pivotal roll in shaping early American dance styles. We Irish become "non white" when this discussion gets brought up again, lmao

Congrats you just saved $749 per year on lunch by eating like a 3rd grader.
Now, you can afford a home with a 50 year mortgage in 18years instead of never.

@indexnforgetit The younger generation isn't brainwashed, they just know how to do basic math. Blaming a ham sandwich for a systemic corporate inflation and housing crisis is the ultimate out-of-touch take
English
@indexnforgetit More importantly, skipping Chipotle doesn’t magically fix a housing market where the median home price has soared past $420,000. Saving $10 a day on lunch takes 115 years just to save a standard down payment
English
The younger generation has been brainwashed into thinking you have to pay $22 for lunch instead of packing a ham sandwich and chips for $2.50

A Chipotle burrito costs $15. Ground beef is $7 a pound. Inflation is financially crippling Gen Z. Once again, an out-of-touch rich boomer is lecturing young people.
English
@StephenKentX Telling a generation to'pack a lunch' to outpace a housing market that gains more value in three months than a person can save on sandwiches in three years isn't financial advice. It's math fiction designed to blame young workers for systemic inflation& decades of wage stagnation
English
@StephenKentX When Kevin O’Leary bought his first house, the median home price was roughly 3.5 times the median income. Today, it is nearly 7 times income
English
Sorry. He's right. No amount of whining will make him wrong. Pack a lunch. Eat a little bit lighter midday. Put that money to work in other places, you'll be amazed.

Kevin O’Leary says Gen Z is financially cooked when people making $70K a year are spending $28 on lunch

@rickyflames1234 @izamamaa Yeah, no fucking shit. Thank you for stating another basic historical fact.

@Yee196123 @izamamaa So you agree white people were stealing black people’s shit at the same time as denying them basic human rights
English
@juniorkingpp They weren't just banning Black people from the floor—they were literally copying Black dances on the floor
English
@juniorkingpp The irony is that they are doing the Charleston (specifically the knock-kneed knee-crossing step). The Charleston was literally created by Black dancers in South Carolina before white mainstream culture adopted it in the 1920s
English
They were really banning us from events just to get on the dance floor and do this shit LMAOOOOO
iza@izamamaa
It’s wild to think that white folks all danced like this before Elvis hit the scene.
