The Cotton Club in Harlo Thoes

There's a colour bar on people alowed in, and even for some of the performers. If you're darker than a paper bag, then you cannot get in colorism. Even if black artists are allowed to perform as musicians, they're not allowed to dance,. Not allowed to enjoy the music as customers unless they're really famous. The owners of the cotton club, they want a little taste of blackness, just a little splash, not too much. And that's somehow less intimidating, i guess, for white spectators who come at the cotton club. You're serving up primitivism, really, which is the language of modernism. So you want the music, duke
