The way I see it, she THINKS she's appropriating black culture, and this is how she sees it. Which is the gross part.

Who choreographed her super awkward dance moves? Seriously don't know where she was going with this but she failed HARD.

This makes soooo much more sense ...

CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT:

this is my reaction to this fuckery.

Miley seriously needs a twerk intervention... someone needs to lovingly, caringly explain to her that she has White Girl Butt. There's nothing wrong with white girl butt, mind you... White Girl Butt is a fine and wonderful thing... and Miley's is just cute as a button. But Miley, darlin'... you have nothing to…

I played the video for my husband expecting indignation, disdain, maybe a laugh. Instead the emotions that appeared on his face were horror, sadness, depression, then anger. The performance is just that profoundly bad and disturbing. Finally, he said, "I'd rather watch a snuff film. Or two girls one cup. That is…

Me witnessing that atrocity:

Nope, I think you are 100% correct. She and the rest of the all Black back up dancers felt like Miley's "props" and it made me (and Rihanna too from the looks of it) very uncomfortable. It went from straight up racist to just really embarrassing and awkward.

You remember when everyone lost their shit when Madonna and Britney kissed? ...I kind of wish we could just go back to that.

I just...don't understand! HOW CAN SHE MAKE SUCH A BIG DEAL ABOUT HOW TWERKING IS HER NEW THING WHEN SHE CAN BARELY DO IT?! lol...

Also, I am a liiiittle weirded out by how she's only using black women as her backup dancers and then how she was making all those gestures at one of them. It's got this weird racial…

The first thing I thought was, "Oh look, it's Cultural Appropriation Barbie and her troupe of African-American Harajuku girls!"

Luckily, there was no twerking in this video.

Everyone stand back. A MAN HAS SPOKEN.

She sounded pretty good? She was off key like half the time! Is this how low our expectations for singing have gotten?

Here's the performance that elicited the best audience reaction of all time. You can watch it below if you feel like being embarrassed forever. Update: Apparently the Smith family jaw-drop was prompted by Lady Gaga's performance. It's still an apt reaction to the show as a whole.

1, 2, 3 black asses... ah ah ah

My Jewish ass will not be going there either. Wait! You just brought back a memory! When I was in college, some lunatic was handing out fliers on campus that said Jews were the spawn of Satan and blacks were monkeys, etc. He did this right in front of the library door. I walked in and saw a black girl holding a…

make that two black asses, thank you!
