I didn't care for the twerking moves but it seemed like she was embracing and emulating hip hop culture. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. I don't think she meant to disrespect the other dancers on purpose.

Is the article saying it puts down AA women? I may have missed the point?

As I said, I don't know what to think. I'm torn.
