If you are not a descendant of an enslaved African, people who were beaten, eaten, raped, mutilated, and sold off for 300 years. If you are not a descendant of someone who underwent Jim Crow in the US not even 100 years ago, and was made to be a 2nd class citizen, DONT SAY NIGGA!
Remember the episode in the Handmaid's Tale, where a brain dead, black handmaid is kept on life support long enough to give birth?
This is happening in Atlanta, GA right now. Her name is Adriana Smith. She was only 9wks when the state kidnapped her body from her family.
cultural awareness and education about appropriation is incredibly important. having people (especially children) inevitably recreate crip-walking is incredibly dangerous. it's also disrespectful and dangerous not to call the "emote" by its actual name. just weird to add overall.
