Although a white often self-consciously displays his lack of prejudice by dancing with blacks, he sometimes unwittingly reveals a hidden attitude by praising his partner's sense of rhythm. "Blacks got rhythm." That kind of remark infuriates Negroes. "It's a phrase that makes me want to turn and stalk out of the room," says a Boston girl.
