Why do black peoples gotta act like black peoples?

[Admin.]

Author Kasey Brown said 12 years ago, this dance almost cost her reputation.
Last night at the Super Bowl, it made her a legend.

I know everyone is talking about Kendrick today, but last night, Serena Williams did the damn thing.

It's funny to think that just a few years ago, this dance cause mayhem.

The difference? The space she was in.

At Wimbledon:
→ "What she did was immature and classless" - Fox Sports
→ "Separated from the violence associated with that dance" - LA Times
→ Faced pressure to apologize for... celebrating her gold medal

At the Super Bowl:
→ Surrounded by Kendrick Lamar's unapologetic Blackness
→ Standing alongside other Black artists owning their narratives
→ Free to be joyful, petty, and gloriously herself
→ Even joked backstage: "Man I did not crip walk like that at Wimbledon... I would've been fined!"

Let that sink in.

Some context:
→ 79% of Black women report having to change their behavior at work to make others comfortable (Catalyst)
→ 54% of Black women leaders report feeling pressure to modify their communication style or appearance (McKinsey)
→ Companies with inclusive cultures are 2x more likely to meet or exceed financial targets (Deloitte)

Here's the truth:
When we create spaces where Black women don't have to shrink...
When we center Black voices and experiences...
When we celebrate instead of police Black joy...

Magic happens.

And sometimes that magic looks like a tennis GOAT doing the crip walk on the world's biggest stage, right after her ex got dissed, while millions cheer.

That's not just pettiness.

That's not just dancing.

That's freedom.

The real question: Why does this freedom only exist in certain spaces? And what are we doing to change that?

Because if Serena Williams—23 Grand Slams, greatest of all time—couldn't be her full self at Wimbledon but found the freedom to dance without apology at a Black-centered Super Bowl halftime show...

Just think about how many Black women are still holding back their magic.

Still dimming their light.

Still dancing smaller than they dream.

The blueprint is clear:
Create the space.
Center Black joy.
Step aside.
Watch magic happen.

That is the same with anyone.

I would have loved to smack the shit out of every dumb lazy fuck that worked for me, but I had to act appropriately because it was a place of business.

So I had to go through the whole verbal warning, written warning, final warning, "You are fired!!!" routine every. Fuckin'. Time.

Certain behaviour is appropriate in certain situations, and that same behaviour may be inappropriate in other situations.

That has nothing to do with race.




This was a stupid thread, even by @Admin. 's standards.

Uh Oh! Another Admin Negro Thread. I better not post any humorous Negro Memes or I might get banned for 247 years just like the last Leftist site I attended with good old White-Gullt Admin.

That was uber lame, even for you.

Why did theyblet black people have a half-time show that broke viewing records? Why?

How come we can't have a white half time show? IT'S JUST NOT FAIR! NO MORE DEI HALF TIME SHOWS!

That was a good show. Kendrick Lamarr is truly genius at his craft. So many layers of messaging that most oblivious people missed.

The revolution is starting and it is being televised.

That half time show sucked, just admit it.

Nah, I've already watched it twice since.

He's won a Pulitzer. I haven't.

 

[Reggie_Essent]

That dude that mumbled and grunted through his half time show has won a Pulitzer?

That's just moar proof of how worthless a "Pulitzer" is.

What was his Pulitzer for? Best Incoherent Grunting or something?

Fox fucked with the sound.

If you watch it on other platforms it's intelligible.

Also, Fox changed jeers to cheers for Trump when he went down on the field. That was caught on live stream form international broadcasts

He was fucking terrible and I like some of his stuff.

Sure they did, Lily, sure they did.

I'm sure the evil racist sound guys at Fox manipulated the sound to make a black crapper sound like a grunting idiot.

Sure thing ....

 

[Jack]

Sure they did, Lily, sure they did.

The Fox feed was definitely different from the international feeds, where you could plainly hear them booing Trump.

If Fox EVER did anything that wasn't a lie or manipulative I'd be shocked.

Leave your whataboutisms at the door, just talking about fox here.

Why let yourself think outnof the box?

 

[Reggie_Essent]

Fox Sports doesn't really have much to do with Fox News.

I know Fox News frightens Lefties.

Unbunch your panties. No one cares that Trump got some boos and no one cares about a Crapper who sucked up his chance to put on a good half time show.

This is why governments want to control our access to social media.

They want to control the narrative.

Then why would fox manipulate the audio if "no one cares"?

Because we all know Trump cares very much about optics like those.

I see ... I guess Leftist Filth have never "controlled the narrative."

Because they do care.

Anyway, even when black people are excellent at their craft, some white people denigrate it.

Not me.

Stop that. CNN is the worst example, especially after Cons purchased it.

 

[Lily]

What narrative is controlled when you have Fox, Newmax, Breitbart, WSJ, The National Review, Infowars...?

Get the fuck out of here with your victim mentality

Unintelligible grunting into a microphone is a "craft?"

Who knew?

Yet, he's successful. What are you? What am I?
