Man, she wasn't thinking about that. I don't have a problem with what she did. It's funny that most of the world won't know what she did. To them, they think she's just dancing a jig or something. Since we know what it is, we're in my opinion thinking too much into it. She just won a Gold Medal, so we should be proud of her.

This. I can't see Serena knowingly doing the c-walk in front of thousands considering the circumstances in which her sister died.

Serena Williams Sheepish About C-Walk Celebration

Aug 04 4:54p by Matt Watson

After defeating Maria Sharapova to win Olympic gold, Serena Williams celebrated with a dance -- specifically, a Crip Walk, a dance move popularized by the Los Angeles gang of the same name. Whether it was a spontaneous outburst of emotion or a planned homage to her Compton, Calif. roots, it caught everyone by surprise, especially since it occurred in the stodgy confines of Wimbledon's All England Club.

Viewers familiar with the dance move erupted with glee on Twitter, while reporters on the scene -- perhaps unaware of the dance's origin -- were apparently equally amused.

But when asked about the dance, Williams suddenly grew self-conscious. From Reid Forgrave of FOX Sports:

"It was just me. I love to dance," she told a swarm of reporters afterward - every single one of them white. "I didn't know what else to do. I was so happy, and next thing I know I started dancing and moving. I didn't plan it. It just happened."

She was pleading ignorance. She knew that even associating the word "Crip" with a gold-medal performance could be toxic to her image, even if the dance itself is now distanced from those gang roots. A reporter asked what the dance was called. "The Serena?" the reporter suggested. "The Wimbledon?"

Serena just stared at the ground, embarrassed.

"Actually, there is a name. But I don't know if I - it's inappropriate," she dodged. "It's just a dance we do in California."

But should Williams be embarrassed? Despite its unsavory origins, the dance move now belongs to pop culture. Refusing to acknowledge such context is as asinine as it is offensive.

----------------------------------

So after the excitement she acknowledges the move won't be well received.

It might've been ignorant and embarrassing since her sister was killed by a crip. But she won olympic gold by straight destroying Sharapova, she can do whatever she wants, and she styled on em. Salutes to the continuation of black excellence and dominance. All we need is for Tiger Woods to wake up and we back in full force.

I don't mind Tiger winning, but fukk him. He doesn't claim us so I don't see him as a representative of black excellence.
