Crip-Walking Continues To Seem Silly And Unthreatening

A tipster wrote in with the theory that C-walking, or Crip walking, the popular gangland expression through dance intended to show your friends that you love them and intimidate your enemies (aww) was not much different from the popular form of middle-aged entertainment, Riverdance. True.

Just to put things into perspective, there was a time in this country when gangs were considered such a threat to the youth of America and the very fabric of our society that sitcoms had entire episodes dedicated to understanding them. Also, The Warriors. Now they're almost quaint. Gangs. Except for MS-13, that shit is the stuff of nightmares.

Okay you know that "The renewed mind is the key" video? Doesn't that guy do some C-walking at the end? I'm PRETTY sure he does.

That was great. Just hope the video creator doesn't get flamed by a bunch of angry Irish step dancers.

this is as douchy as poseurs that think it's hip to spell blood with their fingers or worse, use that image on their clothing line or other busted graphic design attempts.

Just add this to my list of 'Oh my god this so genius and so damn obvious. Why didn't I think of it first?' archives.
