It's me again. This time it's a question for our own Azizi.

Why don't black people go to American Square Dances?

When I first learned American Square Dancing, in England of all places, it was not unusual to see the occasional black person at a dance. But since I've been in The States I've never seen a black person doing American Square dancing.

Is it an inverse snobbery thing, of black people not wanting to do a "honky dance", or is it because they are made to feel unwelcome?
