So says some idiot:

Earl Sweatshirt The US rapper and member of hip hop group Odd Future hit out at Swift for twerking in the promo clip for her latest single “Shake It Off”, despite not having seen it himself.

“I don’t need to watch it to tell you that it’s ultimately harmful,” he tweeted. “Perpetuating black stereotypes to the same demographic of white girls who hide their prejudice by proclaiming their love of the culture.”
What an idiot

No good can possibly come from using this vast wasteland of error and deliberate deceit. You should get off of it and warn others away. You should make sure your children and grandchildren know what a corrupt and morally bankrupt institution it truly is.

I normally really dislike Taylor Swift, but the new song is really catchy.

Twerking died with Miley's VMA performance.

"It's now rather very common to hear people say 'I'm rather offended by that'. As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more than a whine. It has no meaning, no purpose. It has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that'. Well, so f**king what?"--Stephen Fry

I've never heard them but I know they are talentless and derivative.

Nothing to see here. The only people who should be rioting are Fergie Ferg and Gwen Stefani who have been both been tapped with this clip.

How is twerking specifically perpetuating a black stereotype? Of course, the natural evolution of American personality trends is usually black women->gay men->white girls, so it would make sense if this happened to a white girl...years ago.
