We should never forget the contribution of Black American traditions in Double Dutch and Hand Games when it comes to the inceptions of rapping. The cadence, the rhymes, etc had a major impact on Jive (rap). These aspects of the culture were DOMINATED by Soul Black American women.
Amazing.
And maybe I should make a correction….Dominated by Black American Young women and girls! The woman were the teachers but these are kids!
They were so young doing all of that. Culture. As a kid i used to just sit back and watch the girls do it cause I was never able to jump in correctly when I tried 😂😂 🤷🏿‍♂️
Speed.
The skill. They make it look so easy!
Black American Culture.
“Double Dutch is a rhythm.”

The global adoption of Black American “Black Power” has a fascinating history. US civil rights/Black Pride movements of the 50s and 60s inspired many people to adopt the Black American self identification of “Black” and apply our philosophies to their struggles. A few examples.
West Indians in London adopted “being black” and philosophies of Blackness in the early 70s due to US Black Pride movements. They started screaming “Black Power.” And gained a new sense of Black Pride that they didn’t have in the West Indies
Also the stylized Afro (BA hair style) was embraced by Black youth. Many white people in London were also inspired to join in the fight. Some white people in The UK adopted the term “Black.”
