Serena Williams takes the gold in her tennis match, but in the end, we get another story that questions the Americanness of a black Olympian's values, as she breaks out with the crip dance:
"For the uninitiated, the Crip Walk is a funky little hip-hop dance move made famous by Crip gang members in Compton in the 1970s," wrote Fox Sports' Reid Forgrave, who went on to criticize Williams:
And there was Serena — the tennis legend, the winner of 14 individual Grand Slams, the best player of her generation, the American girl being crowned at the All-England Club as the queen of tennis — Crip-Walking all over the most lily-white place in the world.
I had never heard of the thing before now. If this gif is the dance, I must say that it does look like a catchy number.
