Folk dancing in downtown Oakland

So what gives... I just left work and white folks dancing to a fiddle have taken over. How is the same place where protests of police brutality, Eco fairs and rampant mid day blunt smoke usually take place? Planners really got this space right, can you say thesis. How public spaces can be racially and rythmically diverse: downtown Oakland Mecca? The real question is what the hell am I doing just leaving work at 8:30PM?
Either way you slice it the answer doesn't matter at least it's still light out a little and hopefully not too cold in SF, I brought no jacket.
Wait, how are white people so comfortable in downtown Oakland so close to dusk? I mean seriously they were folk dancing. If there isn't a bigger victim I don't know crime.

BTW, my word verification to enter this comment was "wight" then it changed to "hypetr". White people try to get hyphy, but it comes out all wrong.
