I spent this weekend in a strange world... The world of the dance club... I remember how before I developed an "I don't give a flying fuck... and shit" attitude, how they were intimidating places full of beautiful pretentious people. It's not quite the same anymore. Now I go in, and have a good time because I go not looking to hook up, or find an identity within a faux-hollywood, joan and melissa rivers, "does my ass look fat in this skirt so short that you can see my pubic hair poking out underneath it" world.
I did have a good time with my friends (we were celebrating a young lady's 21st), but I made some observations that I would like to share, but they will be in an "I don't understand somebody help a bruthah out" format...
1.) Why is it OK for black men to get fat and not be treated with the normal fat stigma?
2.) Why can only Asian men dress well without having the gay or metro stigma hanging over their heads.
3.) Why are only white men afraid to dance? (me not included... I have a latin soul)
Ok... That's all I have... Like a good Catholic, I'm pullin' out

its like way back when it was a status symbol to be large. "I'm fat, i got money"
