…
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!*)
Can we never just drop the topic of her? She is an adult, she can do what she wants whether you like it or not.
Yes, she has the freedom to promote racism but that doesn’t mean she should. And if she is ever so grown up then she can take responsibility for actions. And when someone defends her racist actions they can take responsibility for their own actions too.
