No it doesnt.... Certain things are specific to certain regions and certain tribes

Shes talking about a specific cultural dance from the Sierra Leone/Ivory Coast region.

Those women weren't twerking for fun or sexual attention.... it was a ceremonial dance....every tribe has their own ceremonial dance.

The zulu women have their own dance that doesnt involve throwing that ass back.... My point is - just leave the ancestors alone.

Stop blaspheming.


What ever value our people choose to attribute to the things we do hold just as much value as anybody else. Everything started somewhere.

the rest of the world says hello. lol, it wasn't even that hard. you must not be too familiar with ted.

ted.
I'm familiar with ted
none of those are on Lizzo's level
The Serena Williams one is an interview with gayle king so it doesn't count.
quote me when miley cyrus has one about how being naked is part of her culture

Well I came in here to shyt on her obviously.

But she is suprisngly engaging,and didn't come off as ignorant as I first imagined based on the topic:ehh:.
I will wait and see exactly where she is going with this.
Also TED Talks aren't all geniuses like those comments are acting like. I've seen plenty of people on their pushing bullshyt empowerment gimmicks like some sleezy conmen. And I will assume that's what Lizzo plans on doing in hers. She will likely make this about some sort of body empowerment for women of all sizes.
While there is some truth to be said for that,the objectification and obsession with ass is arguably the worst thing to happen to our people as a whole:martin:#ThinkAboutIt

this is our Representation in the Big Boys circle.

there's a reason why Meg the Stallion and Cardi B are Black feminist icons... for shaking their ass and rapping about their p*ssy


These are the type of women the black man has provided a platform for. One of these days you will finally believe#TheChildOfMan

@skylove4 think it's ok for black women to twerk on family owned restaurant tables. You wasting your time.
You’re a simpleton that lacks nuance:ehh: you and everyone that dapped you are some myopic motherfukkers:hubie:

If calling out overt anti-American post on this site poorly disguised as peal-clutching is wrong, I don’t want to be right:jawalrus:
