Black History Moment: The DAP 

I came here from that one video about the first black person to say the N word

Saw this in a comment elsewhere. Glad I got to watch this.

Also black soldiers used the dap to let each other know that they'll watch each other's back. The dap had got to the point that the military made it against military code of conduct for black soldiers to dap one another.

Good Stuff I just showed my grandson your video. He lit up when he saw the brothers dapping. Thanks for posting.

My grandfather taught me the DAP in late 1970’s when I was just a little kid. As a kid coming from an interracially married family living in very racist Western Oregon we got looks, especially when doing the DAP in public.

What is the BBC four video from?

Good job mom

Been There, Amer-I-Can's We Won!

We must continue to tell our OWN stories!

Thank you,

Respect

Black Marines started the dap

🔥🔥🔥

What in”Sam Hill” are you talking about

White soldiers shot at Black soldiers? I don't think so. When I was in the US Army, Black people had more influence; in fact they would cut in the front of the chow line and people would let them. We were powerless to say anything. I hated that, actually. You'd be waiting in line, almost ready to get your meal, and the Black guy in front of you would let two or three of his Black friends cut in front of you. lol And when brothers did the dap, they would expect a brother to stop what he is doing and show respect to the brother who is wanting to dap with him. You'd be in the middle of a conversation, and a brother would come by and dap with him. Also, some brothers did not dap, or tried to avoid it, becuase they thought some of it was disrespectful to their white comrades. I respected their integrity. The only part of the dap that was illegal in S. Korea in 1977, was "kill the white rabbit"; at the end of the dap, the brothers would stomp their feet in unison and interlock their arms. You know, some white guys even did the dap. lol
