      Seen this viral tweet? I love Fleetwood Mac, but it feels disrespectful to take video of these women, re-dub it with an all-white rock band, and turn them into a meme. I wondered who they were and what they were REALLY marching to, so did some digging… https://twitter.com/bottledfleet/status/976864863329931265 …

      With that info, I was able to find the source video on an Instagram fan account for the Golden Girls, the pioneering dance squad at Mississippi's Alcorn State University, accompanied by the Sounds of Dyn-O-Mite marching band. https://www.instagram.com/p/BgVB0YNB0jp/

      They're not dancing to Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams," of course, but to the Sound of Dyn-O-Mite's arrangement of Eternal's "Stay" from 1993, frequently used as their marching-in song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHzDN86bpDA …

      Formed in 1968, The Sounds of Dyn-O-Mite and the Golden Girl dance line were the first to perform as a featured squad with choreographed movements to a marching band’s live tunes, and Alcorn was the first college to incorporate a dance line into halftime.

      Elexis Wilson is graduating this year, so GG will soon have a new captain, but many of their recent performances are on YouTube. Here's the complete uncut original 1080p video, over 20 minutes long. They know how to make an entrance!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKNsATE2vio#t=14m20s …

      You can learn more about the ASU Golden Girls on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ASUGoldenGirls/  The history of Alcorn is interesting too, the oldest public historically black land-grant institution in the country, with Medgar Evers and Alex Haley among its alumni. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcorn_State_University …

          To be clear, @proseb4bros never suggested to stop using black reaction GIFs entirely in her article — but to be aware of the context, why we're sharing these particular images, and the stereotypes we may be perpetuating when we do.pic.twitter.com/rYsOi0daDD

          So you want meme apartheid? Just because someone has a different skin color doesn't mean you can't relate to their feelings and expressions. Well, unfollowed you because this regressive attitude makes me furious.

          I read it. It's the typical identity politics nonsense, assuming everyone is some stereotypical white american racist. It interprets any use of black people in the worst way possible, seeing patterns of racism where there are none. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUhGB0IapOE …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AtYVespu7I …

          I can’t speak for Sweden, but here in the U.S., structural racism is very real and impacts every person of color. I don’t think we’re going to see eye-to-eye, so ending the convo here.

          No, I think that in the article our new "Meme Police" says that that is OK, but there are no hard and fast rules. Also, Mr. White Knight Pancake Man only mentioned women of color, so he's probably OK w/ that one too.

          You really want to play divisive politics? Let's play ... once again, here's a white Liberal telling black people they're something to be pitied. You really do think blacks are incapable of caring for themselves so they need your white guilt to be used as their spokesperson. 🙄🙄

          Yo @waxpancake. Sorry you're catching so much flack on this, from people who haven't read the article & are not willing to critique themselves. I think the digital blackface thing is really interesting & I've definitely been more aware of my own use of it since I learned of it.
