I addressed that. If you don't care what whites or others think, that's cool, there's no problem. But in my experience a lot of people say that, but then as soon as a white person says something disrespectful about black people, those people that supposedly didn't care start whining. You can't really have it both ways. Either you care or you don't.
For me, I might be old fashioned, but I believe there is a time and a place for everything. Twerking isn't evil. If a chick is at a party or some other social event, and she's twerking and having fun, cool. However, the graduation stage isn't for that IMO. I think it was in poor taste, nothing more nothing less.
As an adult, acting a fool in front of your own people is just as bad, if not worse than acting a fool in front of others.
But..this not about no white people fam. Its about just respecting the graduation process.
Shit is classless regardless. whether at Harvard or at Howard
Class-less
Graduation
That's a bar. I think I'm ready to kill another victim in a battle.
I guess it's all opinion because I don't see twerking on a graduation stage in poor taste, I don't see it as foolish and I don't see it as classless either. It's just a little twerk. She didn't buss it open and she kept her clothes on.
Imo let the girl have fun, throw a couple bills in the air and pop that ass on em real quick. Cuz at the end of the day why does it even matter? The world wasn't made a better or a worse place because of her twerk.
"Classy" and "classless" here in the US are both social constructs. Did the Black community define "class" or did someone else write that narrative for us?
