Here is a theory: the linguistic and rhetorical devices that serve as passwords granting access into the modern academic speakeasy are employed more ostentatiously as the institution of social scholarship loses stature. Institutions of all stripes are held in increasingly low regard by the majority of Americans, but the decline of the general prestige of academia is especially lamentable. (Snip) The media universe is today equal parts enthralled and appalled by the dancing of 20-year-old Miley Cyrus.

Actually, it was racist in that Miley was trying to show that she was a bad girl (as opposed to her good-Disney-girl image) and felt the was to do that was to dance with a bunch of black people. See? She’s so “bad” she’s hanging out and cavorting with Blacks!

“I had a black subordinate tell me that devil’s food cake is racist. ;-)”

I had a black co-worker call me racist when I suggested that perhaps her college daughter should get a part time job to help pay for expenses that her mother was complaining about. My son had a part time job to pay his expenses.

I watched a youtube vid of Ugandan dance from which this “twitching” comes. It’s been bastardized.
