Just last night, I showed my husband Beychella. We weren’t married during that iconic moment so he wasn’t forced to watch it with me, at the crack of dawn. But he saw it last night. During the performance, which was an ode to HBCU culture, Beyoncé swag surfed for Coachella’s predominately White audience. And it was miraculous.
Though a part of me wonders if White folks saw that dance and then went about co-opting it.
During the NCAA March Madness collegiate basketball tournament, Texas Tech fans decided to swag surf. For those of you who don’t know, Texas Tech is a predominately White school. The results lacked flavor.
