Well, isn’t it kind of the same thing as a jungle voodoo dance in it’s baseness? It’s really animalistic.
>>the Moechella music festival, a Juneteenth celebration<<
They can’t even spell Moochelle correctly?!?
I really don’t care what the “teens” do to each other.
All cultures are not equal.
Bungle in the Jungle. I expect every Juneteenth celebration to erupt in gunfire.
IIRC, twerking was made popular by white chick Miley Cyrus. Her relatively wholesome alter ego “Hannah Montana” had run its course.
“xcuse my ignorance, but what the hell is with the twerking?”
A stripper’s move simulating fornicating. It’s a black culture thing.
They are thinking of changing Fathers Day into, Men are Scum Day.

“a social justice-inspired musical festival in Washington DC ... revelers twerking on top of cars as shots rang out, forcing people to flee for cover.”
You can’t make this stuff up.
It’s a good thing they have strict gun control laws in DC.
I lost interest when I got to twerking.Same here, although I did read the next line that stated it was a "social justice-inspired" event.
TNB, at a JUUUUNETAAAAYYYYYYNNNNNNNFFFFFF celemabrayshuuuuunnnnn???? !!!!
14th and U Sts — that area was destroyed in riots after MLK’s assassination, and stayed unrestored for decades afterwards. Finally, it has come back in the past 20 years, and now this.
The inventor and promoters of this day want this to supplant everything to do with Martin Luther King. MLK was for non-violence. MLK was adamant the color of one’s skin was NOT a criterion for judging a person and surely should not affect how a person is treated. MLK was a minister - this they hate, too.
HISTORY: Not all slaves were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, nor via Juneteenth. Only the slaves of the REBEL states were freed then. Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation was a wartime effort to split and weaken the South; he did NOT free any slaves in the Northern states. Slaves in the non-rebelling border states had to wait for the 13th Amendment, effective December 18, 1865.
