GIVE ME SOME SKIN
THIS IS A GESTURE WHICH STARTED AMONG NEGROES, BUT
HAS RAPIDLY SPREAD TO MANY WHITE MEN AS WELL. (OF
COURSE, THE ONLY PLACE I HAVE SEEN THIS HAS BEEN
IN DETROIT). THE HAND OR HANDS OF ONE MAN (I HAVE
NEVER OBSERVED WOMEN DOING THIS) IS (ARE) THRUST
OUT PALM UPWARDS AND IS (ARE) SLAPPED BY THE HAND
(HANDS) OF THE OTHER. IT IS USED TO EXPRESS A FEELING
OF "SOUL" BETWEEN THE TWO MEN--A FEELING OF INTENSE
AGREEMENT WITH THE OTHER'S MOOD.
THIS IS PERFORMED WITH VARIATIONS. SOMETIMES, ONE MAN
TURNS AROUND AND EXTENDS HIS HANDS (PALMS UP) OUT
BEHIND HIM TO BE SLAPPED.
