She calls Sway 'boy'. That's all kinds of wrong.

Is it not totally inappropriate for a white lady to be calling a black man "boy," or am I just a confused white person?

She called Sway "boy." Have things changed because in back in my day this was a surefire way to get your ass handed to you.

"I prayed for hours" is code for "I scrambled for support from my racist asshole buddies but even they side-eyed me and backed away slowly, so I finally got it through my thick skull that maybe this was a stupid idea and here is my insincere apology."

I'm okay with this.

The comment about Sasha and Malia's outfits was just about the stupidest thing anyone could say, let alone incredibly offensive. They look like adorable, normal young ladies. The girls have never worn anything that could be construed as inappropriate (as if Michelle would allow this, the lady knows from decorum).

Warning: Do NOT try this with women! Women do not complain to have their problems fixed, they complain because they don't want you to see the end of game 5 of the World Series.

But it just bugs me, because we already pay more than enough taxes toward actual social services.

That's what I thought. I didn't want to be rude and diss, because the kid is good..but usually the kids that go viral and get held out as the best are much better.

I think you're missing it. I don't think the comment has a thing to do with the girl herself. She's talented and great and no one is trying to take that from her. However, there are kids of color who've been doing this for quite some time, some who would even make her look amateur and there are no articles calling…

It's not. There are two problems. One is access for kids with natural talent to learn dance. Another is talented dancers (trained or untrained) who don't get featured like this.

Are these burners being intentionally obtuse? People don't critique cultural appropriation just because certain individuals engage in an activity that originated in another community. i could care less that Miley twerks, for istance.

Black kids DO EXCEL at this particular art form. They're just ignored in favor kids like this little girl, who are being promoted. She's not even close to being the best hip-hop dancer in her age group.

Yep. I've seen kids on playgrounds, parks and city streets dancing as well as and better than this little girl. But those kids aren't white and they're not marketed.

They intentionally misrepresent what I'm saying and take it in an unfavorable light to be able to attack it. It's like whenever you express displeasure with how there's lack of POC representation and how AGAIN, there's a white hero, it has to be personal. It's not even about this girl. It's about how we are calling…

I really can't believe in this modem age we have to throw in qualifiers to clarify a point. Let's do it once and for all:

I'm not about to qualify my statement with a "not all" hashtag. Let's just say there are disproportionately less opportunities. It is sad that not all kids have the resources to reach greatness and I'm not lamenting her success. I just want a little black girl to be a hero for once.

For every James Brown with the personal drive and determination, there are thousands that could benefit from classes to find their talents and be praised. It's about the lack of young black kids getting a spotlight for hip hop dance. It's not about her.

I think, like JustA said, it's about the amount of attention this has gotten. This video made my local news yesterday. Yes, she's talented and she's good at demonstrating her choreography, but would she be winning all the internets if she was a person of color? I'm guessing that soon we'll see a vogue article about…

It's really funny how you've extrapolated my point of view all on your own without my input.
