Overreacting much?
Apparently, whities are appropriating black TikTok performers' dance moves without giving the original creators credit. That's pretty bad behaviour; after all, credit where credit's due. But, there's always one poor lamb who either has to fall back on hyperbole, or simply doesn't understand the true meaning of the words that they're using.
"Even in the spaces we've managed to create for ourselves, [non-black] people violently infiltrate and occupy these spaces with no respect to the architects who built it," Erick Louis, a black TikTok creator who helped organise the strike, told the Washington Post.

Ah, diddums. But, really, violent infiltration
? It's an oxymoron…think about it. And how can dance moves be violently
appropriated on social media anyway? Perhaps this is just pure unabashed racism, and all the whities are nazis. Either that, or Erick Louis needs to get a grip of her hysterical self. (snowflake)
Erick, sweetie, if you don't want it to be abused, don't put it on the interwebz. Innit?
And, whities, don't just take it, like some black emmcee stealing sampling
someone else's better work to elevate their own shit. Give Ewik a virtual huggy-hug, and say big ups, Ewik
.
For clarity, an oxymoron is a conjunction of contradictory terms, such as bittersweet.
