I often wondered what Kakeout meant, and it wasn't until this latest blackface controversy that I revisited that question. As it turns out, the Kake Walk was a popular competition at the University of Vermont in which students performed minstrel shows and dance in blackface. The show and term derive from when plantation owners would organize slave competitions for entertainment and award the best dancers a cake. So if kake was white slang for black, Kakeout Road made certain that black people knew they were unwelcome in my hometown.
