Now here’s a fun little story…some security officers in an Israeli airport made a black guy dance before he could come into the country. Sounds like those Israelis know how to get down!

Israeli airport security officers made an African American member of the New York-based Alvin Ailey dance troupe perform steps for them before letting him enter the country, the group said on Tuesday.

The group said airport officials had provided no explanation about the treatment of Abdur-Rahim Jackson, who has a Muslim father but is engaged to a fellow dancer who is Jewish with a large family in Israel.

Jackson was pulled aside from the rest of the troupe on arrival at Israel’s Ben Gurion airport and taken to a room where he was questioned by the security officers, said a spokesman for the group.

“They asked him who he was and what he does and also about his name. He showed them the group’s program with his picture and said he was a dancer,” the spokesman said.

“The officers then told him, ‘If you are a dancer, then dance’, so he showed them some dance moves.”

The spokesman said Jackson was no stranger to this kind behavior because he had been asked to do the same during a visit to the Dominican Republic.

Jackson had no problem with the questioning but was “deeply saddened” by the demand for him dance, said the spokesman.

That’s Abdur-Rahim Jackson pictured above. Based upon that appearance, he’s fortunate that all they made him do was dance. He’s fortunate he didn’t get coerced into deep throating a cock that smells like feta cheese (lolcuzpeoplefromthedesertsaredirty).

All this does is remind me of how I wish I had one of my previous lives back in the Old West. I’d have been a sheriff shooting at everyone’s feet and telling them to dance. Then one day, some stranger would have come into town and said he needed to clean it up because the law wasn’t doing its job. That hurt me, Tex. I have feelings too.

What'd you think of this?
