I didn't know that dance moves were owned by a particular race, and that one needs permission before performing it. Who should be contacted before one twerks, is there a NAACP committee that considers applications.

Most are not even saying she's not allowed to twerk in fact quite the opposite but there is such a thing as cultural appropriation and just cause you're black doesn't discredit that or make what you say any more valid.
And "twerking" has been called Bounce and has been done for decades in the Caribbean which was invented by people of color but i don't agree with the notion that people should ask for permission. Rather Miley's intentions are genuine or not are none of my concern and i can only speak for myself when i say if she wants to twerk do it right at least.
In her defense its not her job to parent other peoples kids and this whole role model ******** in the united states need to end cause at the end of the day celebs are human just like everyone else.
If people took care of their own kids instead having a stranger who happens to be on TV expect them be a "role model" we wouldn't have this issue.
Glad there are people out there with some brain and common sense. Even tho I personally didn't like the performance
whatever you say 
. Not him bringing out that video games violence talk
