Talk:Double Dutch (jump rope)

message: # Hip Hop from even its own self described timeline started in the mid-70's. Double Dutch was popular when I was a kid in the 60's and I'm sure even long before that.  I would have to agree with the above mentioned statement, but I'm far from an expert on the subject so I'd leave it to others to edit. After watching the movie Jump In with my daughter, we searched the internet to read up on the subject which is how I came here. Mrhyak 00:52, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I've removed this picture from the article as there is only one rope in it.  Judging from the above discussion, Double Dutch may not date back to the nineteenth century.  An actual photo of a modern Double Dutch would be a nice addition to the article. jnestorius(talk) 14:02, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

message: black people ≠ hip hop.
yes, there are some elements of black american culture that are different than white american culture, and vice versa, but simply because you've discovered hip hop does not mean that the existence of, and entire cultural experience of, african-decended americans is hip hop.
in fact, as of now, the word 'african' isn't even in this entire article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.162.167.184 (talk) 18:56, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Interesting theory and ramble.  However, as of now and previously, the photographs in the article include various skin shades of people skipping.  Although the article itself mentions black and white it does not mention 'caucasian' or 'african'.  That may be because it would be wrong to suggest that each black or white person in the USA has only one ethnic ancestry. 74.226.104.234 (talk) 19:11, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

message: While the WSJ may indeed claim that "some say" that this was brought by Dutch settlers, this is obviously bogus, and is typical urban legend fare.  In slang, "dutch" means "trouble" and it's no surprise that a two-jump-rope game would be considered "double trouble" and nicknamed "double dutch". Benwing (talk) 00:30, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: "Dutch" doesn't mean "trouble" in British English, and the Wiktionary link suggests it doesn't mean that in American English either. If it has that meaning in some US urban or ethnic dialects, the article should say so. I'm going to add a citation request. --Ef80 (talk) 23:58, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

message: Maybe the 1980s song should be mentioned in the cultural references section, someone who knows details about it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.13.68.171 (talk) 18:23, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
