Serena Williams Crip Walks After Olympic Win

Sandra Rose August 6, 2012

Serena Williams excited her west coast viewers after she crip walked following her historic first Olympic gold medal win in London. But not everyone was happy for her. Radio deejays Rosenberg and K.Foxx ripped Serena for incorporating the widely recognized gang dance move into her celebrations.

“She’s supposed to be a role model, not perpetuating gangster violence,” said K. Foxx.

The Crips are one of the largest and most violent gangs in gang-infested Los Angeles, and the Crip Walk supposedly spells out the name of the Crips with intricate footsteps.

When I think back to that awkward booty dance video she has I’m grateful and find this much more appropriate than the alternative.
Ms.Fashion

So she just suppose to pretend she not from Cali??

Look, how many dances were created by gay people. Should straight people not do them because they are straight?? People just need to take a tylenol.

So I wonder if they are going to label her as a gangbanger (b/c she was rocking blue) and tie in the fact that her sister was killed in a “drive-by” of sorts and try and strip her of her medals or something.

Did anybody see that episode of the Boondocks (Saturday) when Riley kept saying he was gone be the first ‘Blood AND Crip’? LOL

This is DUMB!!!! Even bloods crip walk now! (Usually when they are showing respect to their crip homies) It has become a dance for hell like at least 15yrs!!!! Nobody gettin shot over this dance back home, I can assure you, unless they are some dumb little kids….

And fyi crips ain’t running ish in LA…..MS13 is this country’s new problem and they are extremely organized…

I thought it was all in fun and an ode to her roots….no different than some folks sniffing coke to celebrate their wins….:coffee:

Sorry y’all I’m being ridiculous because these posts are ridiculous <—-really my crip walk….WESTSIDE!

widely recognized gang dance move
_________________________________

I don’t think it was “WIDELY” recognized to “some” folks until “our” folks :fistbump: on it. B/c I vaguely remember hearing one of the announcers (after she did the dance) say “I’m not sure what that was (about)” or something to that extent.

We can’t have NOTHIN!
WalkingKontradiction

And another thing, if Serena were say Maria Sharapova the news would have read: Sharapova pays tribute to the hip hop community

GTFOH with this!

This ain’t Jimbo days, we can dance how, and when WE want…not when y’all tell us to……

@walking go ahead it’s your accomplishment why not?

Serena beat the brakes off of Sharapova. She is NOT playing. Winning titles left and right. Didn’t she also when the doubles. Yeah, but let’s talk about a 10 second dance she did to pay homage. How many other folks coming out of Compton doing what she doing? At least she don’t forget where she came from cough Missy cough

No one was saying anything when Lochte walking round with grills in his mouth looking like a fool.

Ms Fashion! I am seriously trying to figure out what dance I will do…I have done what at EVERY graduation! My family hates it but they “wasn’t with me studying for exams” (Drake voice)

High School: Midwest swing…go figure, lol but I wanted to be diff and everyone was crip walking

College: Ciara’s one-two step

Law school: hmmmm
steph L

Yeah, they are making a big deal out of this because she whooped o’girls azz…I thought the chit was cool and funny as hell. In addition, to see her sister cheer her on was priceless! Because, I’m sure they had some kind of playful rivalry since Venus already had a single’s gold! Do you Serena, phuck the haters????
WalkingKontradiction

Razzle I know but it really peeves my mom…she all bourgeois and whatnot

@Naija I see them and I walk the other way…they control entire cities out here these days

@Boogie, yep! Sad, but true….once they started putting it in videos that was all she wrote…hell the dance is actually some good exercise if you do it long enough

Just a general question? Have y’all ever stopped to think why SOME of us care so much about what THEY think of us? As if we need their approval or whatnot? Yet they don’t give a hotdamn about what ANYONE thinks of them….

And you do realize that those who lump us all in one category (hood, untrained uncouth, etc.) could care less about you trying to change their minds about who you are cause to them you’s still a n***r… coffee:

Worry about pleasing who holds your soul…..

@contradiction

If this isn’t the truest thing to be said, they don’t care how much education you have, how great of a background you come from, we all get painted with the same brush. So your last statement, couldn’t be anymore true.
NaijaGal

@WALKING
years of systematic brainwashing will do that to you…and these people continue to breed and pass it to the next generation…a cycle that I don’t believe will ever break
WalkingKontradiction

@boistop and Naija…yes and yes!

Folks should read Brainwashed by I think it’s Tom Burrell

We honestly put too much energy into what they “think” of us….be who you are and make sure your kids have great self-worth and self-esteem because otherwise, any time someone projects their perception of you onto you, you will be worse than a leaf in the wind…

Interesting given the fact her sister was killed by crips….idiot
WalkingKontradiction

I have never heard that….that it was gang related, yes, that it was drug related, yes…..this whole a crip killed her is what people are saying now…..there are more than just crips in Compton

I was stunned too when I heard about it. SMH, I guess. Present day athletes are just….

Did you hear the one about that rookie NBA player with all the teeth – the red boy from Ky- forgetting his jersey? I just stared at the screen. They’re so busy being popular and racking up p ussy that they forget THIS IS WORK.

I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT!!!!! It was like representing where she came from and where she IS AT THIS POINT IN HER LIFE

@ 71 they were playing tricks on him too. He went to get in the game cuz they said coach called him and the coach was like i dont need u yet. thought it was cute cuz they showed a human side

Your Perception is your reality…in other words people will think what they want…meantime she’s “cripple walking” with a Gold Medal. Let her have fun…life is not always about negative connotations.
