In this video, we delve into the controversy surrounding Serena Williams' performance of the Crip Walk during Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show. While some viewed it as a lighthearted dance, it's essential to recognize the deeper implications. The Crip Walk originated from the Crips gang in Compton, a group linked to significant violence within Black communities. Tragically, Serena's own half-sister, Yetunde Price, was a victim of such violence, killed in a drive-by shooting by a Crip member in 2003. This raises critical questions about the normalization and celebration of gang culture in mainstream media. Join us as we explore the complexities of this issue and its impact on Black culture.
