[+7] - Ragman - 08/06/2012The last thing I think Serena would want to do was to associate with anything to do with Crips. Her half sister (the elder half-sister and personal assistant to her and her sister), Yetunde Price...

@nqyringmind,

My thoughts are: Are they kidding?

This is rather nicer than the common emotional reaction of falling flat to the grass, or similar.

@ossobuco,

I can't find a problem in there, either.

@ossobuco,

It's the Crip walk, popularized by the gang of the same name in Oakland.

@Lash,

Hmm, is there a Bloods gang there too? And do they have a dance?

@Lash,

Young folks picked up on this dance and it became somewhat of a craze about a decade ago. Does this change anyone's opinion?

@nqyringmind,

The only opinions I see so far have been favorable. Why would they change?

@ossobuco,

Hmmm. I suppose you'll have to google for an answer. I don't know if the Bloods have disbanded or have a dance.

@Lash,

I doubt they've disbanded... more like expanded, but I haven't been following lately.

@nqyringmind,

You left that out of your information. I assumed many people would have no reason why some found her dance offensive.

@Lash,

I left it out intentionally.

@nqyringmind,

Is any kind of dancing acceptable at Wimbledon?

If yes, then this is fine.

If not, <shrug>.

I didn't know everyone at work was a crip. I'll keep that in mind for the next party and hide in the bathroom Laughing

@Lash,

Are you kidding, Lash? The Cripes would do a dance like that? Get out of here.

@Irishk,

Yep! Now you're going to have to change your name to something like "Killa Irish" or how about Irishk Dawg!

@Joe Nation,

Maybe it scares away the Bloods!?

I very much doubt a Crip would be caught dead wearing a red headband. That color belongs to the Bloods. Maybe "caught dead" was a poor choice of words. Some people take the difference between Red and Blue seriously.
