is that the big lebowski?

 

[Tae]

Prove it.
I can't think of one 21st century bi-racial from a bm+ww (except of J Cole and Jessie Williams) that is pro-black and fighting for the rights of blacks.

What about examples of the reverse?

And this girl is only a teenager

You can't be black.. Girls twerk on guys at parties and dances. You ain't never been to a black party? It is black culture. Dancing is culture.

Dancing is culture. That doesn't mean every dance is black culture. Come on, that shyt is insulting.

 

[Mr Rager]

Twerking is black culture, if you look at almost all the dances (swing, azonto, wining, sexy walk, mash potato, toe wop, the butt, tootsie roll) we have made since back to Africa, it uses a form of twerking. Black people dance with their hips. White people hoe down and river dance lol.

The word twerking is fairly new but it is just a reimagining of dances before.

Wow we own twerking, what a cultural accomplishment

You...do know that's The Dude right. Not her father.

I told nikkas on here, the mixed girls go harder for the movement sometimes than full black people.

This. That's how I learned about this story. A friend of mines is mixed and she goes hard on all of these subjects. Even gay rights.






But she's straight though

Lmao. Breh you clearly don't be around black people. It's funny how y'all eventually tell on yourselves.

Her father is Danish..

I just usually notice some the strong in mixed girls with white fathers compared to mixed girls with black fathers. Though, she seems intelligent and is very pretty. She definitely knows a little bit of what's up, but watch her find herself a white boyfriend and settle down before she finds out the even harsher realities about race in America Someone check her social media and see if she already has a boyfriend.

Can't black ball you if your audience is black. She seems smart she'll figure it out.

Since when is twerking "black culture?" That shyt is stripper "culture," let's stop associating negative shyt with black culture.

Its a Black dance, whether you like it or not. One of the hundreds of thousands we have from Africa, The US ,Latin America to the Carribean..
