It's sad that if a kid post a video dancing, people tell them to "read a book". To insult them as if art and creativity is not intellectual

Whitney Houston’s iconic bow is one of the most graceful and elegant signs of gratitude I ever seen.
I could watch her do this a million times.

What's funny, it's how while MJ was doing that, there were like 4 dancers doing the exact same move, also without singing. Ain't nobody doing what Beyoncé did, in high heels, while singing them notes

EVIL whites passed a law to make free Black women look enslaved. Black women turned it into the most powerful crown in the room. Because we always win! 👑

Many global music genres are celebrated today without enough credit to the African people and African diasporic communities who helped create them. 🎶🌍

Jazz was born from Black American creativity, rooted in blues, ragtime, spirituals, and African rhythmic traditions.

Samba carries deep Afro-Brazilian roots shaped by enslaved Africans who preserved rhythm, movement, and ceremony in Brazil.

Tango was influenced by African communities in the Río de la Plata region, though that history is often minimized.

Garage and many electronic scenes were built on Black innovation in club culture before being repackaged by mainstream industries.

Cumbia also carries African influence through drums, movement, and coastal Afro-Indigenous histories in Latin America.

African creativity has shaped the soundtrack of the world often before the world was ready to acknowledge it.

The Tignon laws of the 18th century were laws that banned black women from exposing their natural hair in public.

Their hairdos was obscuring the status of the white women and this threatened the social stability. The law would control colored women “who dressed too elegantly..”

Resembling today’s West African Gele, a tignon is a type of head-covering. It is a large piece of material wrapped or tied around the head to form a kind of turban concealing the hair.

Tignons were worn by free and slave Creole women of African descent in Louisiana from 1786. Historically, their prevalence was as a result of sumptuary laws passed in 1786 under Governor Esteban Rodriguez Miró.

These prescribed and enforced appropriate public dress styles for women of color in a white-dominated society. Hence, they were made as a way of regulating the appearance of black women in the U.S.

During the period, when black enslavement in America was at its peak, and places like New Orleans was unique in its high population of gens de couleur libres (free people of color), black women’s beauty and features often attracted white men who approached them as suitors.

This enraged white women who perceived them as competitors. Evidently, African women competed openly with white women through elegant dressing, including adorning their textured hair with gems, beads, and other accents that made them stand out from white women and possessing great beauty.

To take care of this perceived menace, series of sumptuary laws birthing the Tignon Law were put in place in order to stop white men from pursuing and engaging in affairs with women of colour, “while also being a class signifier,”

The day the Affordable Care Act passed was one of my proudest moments as president, because it meant that millions of Americans would have access to health care, some for the first time.

The ACA also prevented insurance companies from denying people with pre-existing conditions coverage, allowed young people under the age of 26 to remain on their parents’ plan, expanded Medicaid, and so much more.

But the ACA was always meant to be a first step. We still have to do more to expand access and make health care more affordable for everyone.
