Taylor Swift is the latest pop star to enlist some African American women twerking and is being called out for it. Her “Shake It Off” video features dance from all genres including ballet and break dancing. Some fans on Twitter called her out for appropriating black culture and slammed her as a racist.

Earl Sweatshirt chimed in with his opinions on Twitter saying, “haven’t watched the taylor swift video and I don’t need to watch it to tell you that it’s inherently offensive and ultimately harmful.” 

The rapper continued, “perpetuating black stereotypes to the same demographic of white girls who hide their prejudice by proclaiming their love of the culture.”

“Shake It Off” is set to appear on the singer’s upcoming album 1989. Watch the video above, do you agree with Earl?
