This chick is pulling the classic "Jesse Jackson fake outrage" she's pandering to black folk who are not savvy enough to do their own research. Just for views/ ratings/ attention/ fans.

It's fukking disgusting :stopitslime:

The Harlem Shake is two different things.

1.The Harlem Shake is a dance

2. The Harlem Shake is also a unrelated song. The producer named it that because of an inside joke between friends.

I think he said got into fight, got cocky and did the Harlem shake. After that, they went around shouting "Do the Harlem Shake" during random ocassions.

The viral videos are based of the SONG not the DANCE.

:ufdup: It took me 5 fukking minutes to google that.

She has a lot of valid points. I don't understand how she is factually incorrect with anything she said. She is indeed factually correct.

The main issue here is the name of the "new Harlem shake"

Question: if a new x-games sport involving jumping off skateboards into garbage cans, and they called it "basketball," Would true basketball fans have a legitimate gripe or issue with a sport adopting and using the "basketball" name? :mjpls:

Some black people need to read the story of the little boy shepherd and the wolf.

Well, it's not like the artist created this song with the intention of making it a new dance craze with the same name. Your analogy fails because this meme grew organically -- one person made a funny video with this song, and others imitated it. Anyone ignorant of internet memes or the original song might think harlem shaking is jumping around doin crazy shyt like you're on molly. But so what? Does their ignorance on this subject really prompt any anger or resentment? Who gives a shyt, really?

Those white folks doing that fake Harlem shake are straight mocking black culture on some silly stealth shyt. It's like them saying y'all nikkas look like dumb asses when you dance. Many black people are trying to laugh with these white people but don't realize they're laughing at us when they do that retarted looking dance and when we laugh at it we're indirectly laughing at ourselves.

'Harlem Shake' is the name of the song. The first kids who invented the meme named it after the song, and it created a snowball effect. I get MHP's point, but this isn't a good example of that.

A better example would be the fact that the song is claimed to be apart of a music genre called, get this...trap music. If you actually watch Youtube videos of the song (and not the meme) you'll probably read comments under the video treating trap music as a genre that was underground before this song made it mainstream. THAT'S cultural appropriation.

I don't care what yall non black culture thieving cacs and ricans talking bout. I don't need to know the history or context of this "meme". Name it something else. It is not the harlem shake. Some of you on clowns didn't even hear her out.. just saw an intelligent black woman and decided to attack her instead.
