re: Kind of touchy D&D

Quoting ღEvan's Mommyღ:“ haha, that's like saying "not to sound racist but..."”

Or "I don't mean to be a bitch but...", thats a personal fave of mine lol.

Quoting Cap'n Chit Chat's Momma:“ Or "I don't mean to be a bitch but...", thats a personal fave of mine lol.”

yeah, if you're having preface the statement due to what's coming, you KNOW that you're about to come across as a bitch/racist/etc...

really, you should just cut to the chase and say: "i'm racist and here's why:"

Quoting Cap'n Chit Chat's Momma:“ Or "I don't mean to be a bitch but...", thats a personal fave of mine lol.”

exactly!   If I think I need to say that, then I know I'm going to sound like a bitch and I either change the wording so it doesn't sound so harsh, just say it and don't care what the backlash may be, or just don't say anything at all. And I have done all three on here.

Quoting Mara:“ any time anyone EVER starts a topic w/ a statement like that, nothing else but that can occur. it is a self-fulfilling prophecy at it's utter worst. and why do you care how little black girls dance?”

it just makes me sad. I've never seen little white girls dance that way, and now I've been informed of that. It's just sad.

Quoting Baby Mutilator {TSB}:“ it just makes me sad. I've never seen little white girls dance that way, and now I've been informed of that. It's just sad.”

why does it make you sad?

Quoting Mara:“ why does it make you sad?”

It's sad that little girls are taught to dance like grown women at the club, instead of like children.

Quoting Baby Mutilator {TSB}:“ It's sad that little girls are taught to dance like grown women at the club, instead of like children.”

and you seriously think that only little black girls dance like that? i've seen little asians dance like that, little boys dance like that, and most of all little white girls... you live you learn, eh?

those moves are learned... they got them from somewhere-- right?

where do you think it came from?

why do you think race has even a single fraction of effect on the reasons that video exists?

and really, think about it: you're framing these videos found on youtube as a "race issue"--

after seeing a few videos on youtube!

...which-- for better or worse, makes your OP not exactly a well-thought out topic so much as a back-handed racial smearing.

b/c you're implying that there's something fundamentally wrong w/ what's going on-- and that race is somehow involved.

personally, dance moves like that mean only as much as the parent standing behind them lets it mean.

if that little kid understands their own body and to respect it, then i see no real issue w/ the moves aside from the fact they seem in bad taste... for the fact they're making relatively pre-sexual children imitate a sexual person's movements-- but again it IS just a dance, clothes are on...

what the children make of it in their minds is learned from their authority figures and nowhere in the law of physics does dancing sexy = having sex or otherwise losing their innocence.

and again, i just don't see why race even vaguely matters-- a few videos = a few videos, i'm sure you'll soon be able to find white girls doing the same thing on youtube...

it's obvious that your sight is limited by your inexperience ... it's not so obvious why it somehow comes out in the form of racism...

Quoting Mara:“ and you seriously think that only little black girls dance like that? i've seen little asians dance ... [snip!] ... that your sight is limited by your inexperience ... it's not so obvious why it somehow comes out in the form of racism...”

And like I said, it was an innocent question. I'd never seen any other races dancing like that. Now that I've been informed, I understand that most races have children dancing that way, and that's that.

Quoting Baby Mutilator {TSB}:“ It's sad that little girls are taught to dance like grown women at the club, instead of like children.”

My sisters dance like older girls because my sister and I have danced in front of them. We are white and can shake our booties. However that does not mean my sisters are sluts they can just dance to the beat and have fun. I hate that dancing is linked to sex all the time, its a way to express ones self, its art. Kids are eventually going to stop dancing like a kid. What about kids who are in dance and dance like adults is that any different. Not really.

Culture differences I guess... but its still nasty. They are little kids... they shouldn't be dancing like that regardless of their race.. poor parenting.

White people can't dance, wtf?!

Quoting Cash's Mama!:“ White people can't dance, wtf?!”

Nope! you didn't get the memo?? Lol. You must live close by me... you live at the Academy?

Quoting Nico & Ava's Mommy:“ Nope! you didn't get the memo?? Lol. You must live close by me... you live at the Academy?”

Haha! Actually, no I don't. I'm a big fat liar! I did though, I miss Annapolis. I'm stuck in Norfolk now...yuck.

I think it's cute as HELL when my daughter shakes her booty.
haha

It's the funniest thing EVER.

Quoting Satan:“ I think it's cute as HELL when my daughter shakes her booty. haha It's the funniest thing EVER.”

agreed. my 9 month old just started putting her one hand up in the air and shaking her butt when she hears ANY kind of beat.



Oh, and she's as white as they come
