“I think the bigger issue here is the fact that America seems to have a problem with African Americans who are in esteemed positions embracing any aspect of urban culture. The reality of the situation is Serena Williams won a gold medal for her country, and the neighborhoods in which she learned this dance move are a part of that country. Personally, I have a hard time understanding why any die-hard Olympics fan in America would be more concerned about her dance than they are about the gold medal she won for our country.”
