no they did not try to credit twerking to Miley Identity Crisis 😕😂 are y'all serious? its unbelievable how shit becomes mainstream for white ppl thru white ppl who blatantly appropriate Black Culture. what does Miley have to do w twerking? this is something Black Women popularized — not to mention we're the main reason most any nb woman these days knows what twerking is letalone how to finesse it. if y'all don't get the entire fuck outta here just handing white girls accolades for shit Black Girls been doing. this is the same reason there was all the commotion around Kylie Gentrifier being in the WAP music video (considering white women were extremely vocal ab why her being in the video wasn't such a ‘big deal’ & that Black Women should basically chill out ab it). I am so tired of these white girls getting credit/recognition for & included in shit they literally have nothing to do w creatively. shit they literally be embarrassing themselves trying to copy & repurpose for white women who wish they were/try so hard to pretentiously present themselves as mixed if not just straight up black. what Miley boney ass did way back when at the VMAs in 2013 w Robin Thicke equally irrelevant ass that one time at the peak of her identity crisis did not put twerking on the map at all. period. like in no way, shape or form did miley cyrus create, influence or popularize twerking — & anybody dumb enough to believe otherwise is just stupid. for literally hundreds of years black women have been excluded in feminist circles & downgraded as simply being obscene, sexual props for black & white men alike, & white women have been stripping & misappropriating Black Femininity for entirely too damn long & getting away w it. Like it's so beyond me that we literally liberated these hoes by just being our whole entire fucking selves unapologetically whether anyone liked it or not & they stay tryna actually be us & everything we've ever stood & been condemned for. Then don't even know how to say thank you — or even just fairly acknowledge or praise us. COME UP, W YOUR OWN, SHIT. AND LEARN HOW TO ACCURATELY CREDIT BLACK PPL — PARTICULARLY BLACK WOMEN, YOU UNDERCOOKED BITCHES — FOR THE SHIT YALL LITERALLY COPY FROM US W/O VULTURING OFF OUR SHIT & CALLING IT YOUR OWN. Learn how to retain some individuality around yall's weird ass white obsessions w our culture. Like goddamn it gets so old having to say that on every social platform & in every real life instance white women are unfortunately a part of where they (or white ppl generally) just surmise that they're the original faces, representatives & aesthetics around Black creations & vibes. You're not. for the 937,394,274th time, have a seat. y'all are literally piggybacking off of every fucking move Black Women make these days w feverish obsession w our facial features, textured hair, our figures, our natural hair community, the variations in our complexions, the bhaddie looks & energies we singlehandedly branded for ourselves in the discriminatory corners nb women period have put us in due to how comparably far we diverge on the (rac/color)ist ass ‘white proximity spectrum’. Im so deadass tired of this typa shit.
