Chow finding out that this was a social experiment by the breakdancing lady at the Olympics makes the story all the more funnier Now shout out to tasty quiche over on X They wrote this tweet and said so the breakdance lady from Australia was doing a social Experiment talking about white access to breaking and social hierarchy They go on to say she wrote a paper about it and somehow she made it through the Olympics with all of her All of her nonsense which shows she was playing in our faces, honey chow We got the paper So let’s go through it and see some of the nonsense that she was writing about if you think the paper doesn’t start with straight Foolishness you’d be absolutely incorrect on this portion of the article. She says hip-hop culture is meritocracy Meritocracy, which is a political term which means that the power held by the people who have the abilities Maybe nothing about hip-hop culture has anything to do with ability It is something that is just ingrained in you She goes on to say the more you participate in hip-hop culture the more likely you will be considered Authentic and win events and gain respect and authority within the scene This is a part of the story where everyone was up at the beginning of this She was talking about how her persona as b-girl Reagan is a personification And she says why would we make such a confession acknowledging the elephant in the room such a confession goes against our understanding Of the living and breathing of hip-hop it affects our cred or credentials or our rep She goes on to say we might be tempted to position our double lie double lives Within hip-hop’s long history of creating characters and personas What I? Got to read that back She said one might be tempted to position our double lives within hip-hop’s long history of creating characters and personas to tell a story She thinks that hip-hop is the personification of characters See, this is how she ended up in the Olympics Fran Then she makes this anecdote here and says are we voyeurs like watching in are we culturally appropriating hip-hop? Yes Girl when we all saw this we didn’t know we did we wasn’t sure Fran. We wasn’t ready We was not ready for whatever this mess was and y’all keeps going because in this portion of her paper She says that hip-hop has always been a space for young people particularly those expressing disadvantages to express themselves and gain a new reputation Outside of how they’ve been described, which is true. Don’t worry She about to have y’all dub as she continues and says however if commitment is the key contributor to authenticity Do those with the greatest privilege education and mobility have an easier means to be considered the most authentic? Somehow in this paper. She’s basically saying that in order to be authentically hip-hop outside of black culture You need to have privilege education and mobility Basically in a nutshell she writes this entire paper to talk about the disadvantages her being Australian woman has been having getting into the hip-hop culture He also talks about how much it cost her to travel to Europe in the United States to learn authentic ways of Breakdancing then basically this step-by-step guide on how to become more authentic in our culture Now here’s the kicker according to tasty quiche They go on to say also the bee folks or the breakdance folks in her country have been loud on social media Talking about how they never heard about any tryouts or trials for the Olympics So the real ones didn’t even get a chance to compete finish out and say this is many levels of complicity and Dedication to making a mockery of a culture couldn’t have said it better myself friends
