did you see this Serena Williams fake 'controversy'

[zerozero]

Serena Williams and the Crip Walk - The Root DC Live - The Washington Post

 

[Double Burger With Cheese]

I actually so an Olympic promo spot on NBC yesterday and they used the clip of her dancing in it. I was a little suprised, considering the negative attention surrounding her dance. But NBC seemed oblivious or they didn't care, and rightfully so, the controversy is stupid. Haters gonna hate

 

[Dr. Fauci]

Apparently she even acknowledged it in the Post Interview..."A dance we do in California"



and her little sister was killed by a crip? Is she insane?

state your race/ethnicity poster I can't fathom anyone having a legit grievance with this, it was all of 4-5 seconds

I don't think it's a fake controversy. I'm pretty ambivalent about it, but the appropriateness of the best tennis player in the world doing a dance created to signify membership in one of the most powerful, populous, and violent street gangs in America on the global Olympic stage is worthy of discussion at least.

hmm. I had the feeling the move was more decontextualized at this point.. I saw a youtube clip years ago of some asian dude doing it on dance dance revolution (lol)

I mean I'm against skipping around dancing at tennis in general but in terms of the actual moves I dunno. The reason I noticed is that someone pointed out that drudge had it up when the sikh temple shooting started and in this article I saw dudes like this calling her out on it:

She kind of...sort of...shouldn't have done that...

I knew these uptight people would get all up in arms about.

Can't do anything nowadays as a young black person.

Let the cacs hate, fukk um. Them and uppity house nikkas who are worried about what white people are thinking are the only ones hating anyway.

A moment for young American inner city black youth to look up to, a moment to inspire dreams and quests for achievement got polluted by ignorance. Young black kids in Chicago and LA are getting killed or shot over that dance man. Her sister was the victim of gang violence. That's the message she wants to send?

Shame.
