To find this comment offensive? A FB (sorry!) friend has posted this comment on a video. I have never twerked nor do I intend to but find it outrageous to be told I shouldn't because I'm white

Grin I love the word

MistressDeeCee · 19/09/2013 19:48

mignonette Im in St Lucia *. Ive been to Trinidad, I wouldnt mind going to Haiti tho (wonders if mignonette speaks creole..)

TrucksAndDinosaurs very true.

Its crazy that twerking movements have caused so much uproar in the uptight west where white women shouldnt be appropriating quite such a vulgar dance (what are y'all doing tryna be black dont you know you must only do ' white ' dances ) & black women who do it are no better than they should be (stop all that vulgarity, we need to show & prove to other nations how naice & refined we are so they can actually believe it..! )

Couple years back there were some dances that looked similar to twerking but, far wilder. Theres an obvious reason why they didnt cause uproar :) they would have if Miley started doing them tho.

I cant be bothered to get too serious about it, its just a dance. I do like Amber's definition of dancehall tho..Caribbean call & respond dances have their roots in Africa, the dances dont change that much really, just the names of them do

Still just a dance tho & if folks are twerkin all over the club down the road then more power to them if theyre having fun. I hope all dont start Bollywooding thatll cause even more confusion & uproar

I've been replacing the word Work with the Twerk in songs. It quite amusing Grin

"I like the way you Twerk it, no diggity"

"Twerking 9 to 5, what a way to make a living"

"I like to twerk it, twerk it"

"Tommy used to twerk on the docks"

"The drugs dont twerk"

I am easily amused

ChoudeBruxelles · 19/09/2013 21:54

ChoudeBruxelles · 19/09/2013 21:54

Twerk - stupid autocorrect

Thepowerof3 · 19/09/2013 21:55

I saw the miley cyrus video last night. I almost laughed my twerk off. She doesn't actually have a bum does she? And what's with the mankini?

frogspoon · 21/09/2013 10:38

I was about to say YABU until I realised that you thought the comment was offensive.

YANBU, I find it offensive too. It has nothing to do with skin colour, but I don't like twerking anyway.
