Serena dances.

Yes, the NFL tried to kiss Trump’s rump by deciding to remove the phrase “End Racism” from the end zones of the Super Bowl field. Instead, they opted for the seemingly neutral slogan “Choose Love.”

But the LIX Super Bowl was a rebuke to white supremacy anyway.

And in the hours since the Philadelphia Eagles crushed the Kansas City Chiefs, my feeds have been filled with tons of conversations about the Art, metaphor, symbolism, Black culture, history and American racism.

I’m Philly born. My first nine years were spent in the north Philly neighborhood of Strawberry Mansion.

So, it was, “Go Birds!” for me.

Beginning with Ledisi’s moving rendition of Lift Every Voice and Sing.

Jon Batiste singing the Star Spangled Banner.

Kendrick Lamar’s remarkable half-time performance that included, among other things, an appearance by the GOAT, Serena Williams.

And Samuel L. Jackson as a sly Uncle Sam.

And then there was Serena’s dance.

Williams also has a personal connection to the specific dance she performed on the Super Bowl stage. It recalled her celebration at the Wimbledon court in London after beating Maria Sharapova to secure the gold medal at the 2012 Olympics. At the time, she faced an onslaught of criticism for what commentators described as crass and inappropriate. “What Serena did was akin to cracking a tasteless, X-rated joke inside a church,” Fox Sports’ Jason Whitlock said. Others, like Los Angeles Times sports columnist Bill Plaschke, suggested the dance glamorized gang violence. “It was just a dance,” Williams, whose older sister Yetunde Price was killed by a member of the Southside Crips gang in 2003, responded when questioned in 2012.

More than 12 years later, however, she still remembers the backlash, which defenders long claimed was overblown and racist: “Man, I did not crip walk like that at Wimbledon. Ooh, I would’ve been fined,” Williams joked on social media on Sunday night.

I’m nearly 77 years old and no expert on rap or hip-hop.

That’s why I invited some of my kids over for chili and corn bread and to explain what I didn’t understand.

But even I knew this was some brilliant stuff.

And I’m not just talking about the Eagles’ defense.
