Lizzo on tedtalk: ‘Black people carry this dance(twerking) through our dna’

They let her do a TED talk and she chose....

SMH.

 

[J.E.T.S]

Oh for crying out loud

 

[The Fade]

We are more than just caricatures

Another corny ass "new blacc"

 

[Collateral]

Hella embarrassing. We as a people have more to offer than a big ass and twerking. Negros of the new millennium allowed folks like Lizzo and unproductive commentary like this to represent the race

 

[humminbird]

this is getting out of hand
A ted talk?
show me another race who lets their entertainment speak on the same field as respected scientists, journalists, academics. and entrepneurs

 

[Henri Christophe]

I hate when people start bringing up the ancestors when talkin about twerking......

these dances have spiritual, tribal, ceremonial & cultural backgrounds..... women nowadays arent thinking about the ancestors when theyre twerking to Meg The Stallion.... SMH

this is like a random dude in jail saying "I cut the dudes head off because I was following the foot-steps of my African ancestors who performed ritual sacrifice to the gods of Vodun"

like shut the fukk up

 

[Paper Boi]

she is a walking minstrel show

 

[skylove4]

It iswere a soulful people. I don’t understand how anybody can be upset by her statement

 

[Premeditated]

so glad Tedtalk is finally bringing black artist in to lecture about productive topics.
