The issue here isn’t about WOKE but about how blacks want themselves portrayed. Do they want Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s decadent performance to represent them to the world? Maybe they do. There are white performers who are equally degrading, but they are not seen by most whites as representing their culture (unfortunately, millions of whites have been seduced). Those white performers usually distance themselves from their white heritage. They are criticized by whites (at least those who have not been pulled into the downward spiral to the film and music industries) as being decadent, i.e., lewd, lascivious, and licentious.
There are standards for beauty. Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s performance—the music, the dance, and the female physiques—failed to achieve aesthetic beauty. Theirs isn't art but nihilistic spectacle, like the slicing of an eye with a razor blade, that appeals to the dark, sub-animal instinctual id (à la Freud). (That's right. One finds nothing similar to human decadence among animals.) It is the equivalent of pole dancing at a strip bar. The performances are certainly not inspired by traditional feminism, which looked down upon women presenting themselves as sex meat as street-walking prostitutes do.
I supposed such song and dance are considered advancement, a superseding of the dance motifs of white culture since white people can’t dance any better than white men can jump. After watching the first video below, I realized that white, skinny dancers are pathetic in comparison. And those old timey black dancers in the video are so out of date. They need a little more boogy-woogie-buggery. Maybe that’s what the Grammy Awards are telling us. You decide:

Here’s what it was like before whites and blacks lost class and gained pounds:

Those were the days and they ain’t coming back thanks to Hollywood, et al.
