Cyrus is benefiting from the exploitation of Black cultures. When she twerks she is seen as “edgy” and “cool”; when Black women twerk they are seen as “dangerous”, “slutty”, and “animalistic”. Cyrus is benefiting from her White privilege and using it to make money off of cultures that are not her own.
…twerking is a ‘dance’ where you shake your butt vigorously while bent over. I’m pretty sure no one thinks it isn’t slutty or dangerous or whatever. Like, really? she’s supposedly classier because she’s white? where are you even getting that people think that? it’s shaking your butt, not drinking from a whites-only fountain.
I can’t even tell if you’re trolling. are you trolling?
Have you done any research on this subject? No, I am not a troll, and even if I were that wouldn’t validate your comment. Her video depicts her with a “grill”, “twerking”, and making signals. She is stealing from Black cultures and making money off of it.
Did Donald Glover trademark the ‘twerk’? Does Jay-z have a copyright on rap music? Who exactly is she stealing from, and why is it apparently just her? And who should I send a licensing fee to if I want dance the waltz?
I can’t believe no one’s pressing charges! She was making signals! (*gasp!*)
Culture is not an owned thing that can sue others for stealing from it. Why don’t you care that Cyrus is promoting racism against Black people? By using Black cultures as a costume she is promoting the idea that Black people are subhuman.
