Nothing.
Are you fucking kidding me? It teaches us absolutely nothing. I hope you didnβt think there was about to be some academic discussion about poverty and hood entertainment.

Fuck that.
Some people are gluttons for punishment or cruisinβ for a bruisinβ. Full stop.
I hope all your cousins (and mine) are okay. My folks be callinβ in Washington, D.C., to rent cars for them for a dayβin Georgia to run errands so I know they all ainβt got health insurance. Clinics are finna be lit. Like, you either complete it successfully or you get hurt, there is no middle ground.
(Oh, for the uninitiated, please go to your nearest social media apparatus and type in #CrateChallenge and watch social Darwinism at work. And this ainβt just Black shit; its people shit. As of right now, on Instagram there are over 10,000 videos. Like 8 of them are successfully completed. Thatβs a lot of injuries. Please see below.)
I live in a neighborhood that specializes in Hood Olympic sports. Iβve seen Computer Chair 100M races. I live across the street from a grocery store; the kids jack shopping carts and race them shits down my street. My street also is lined with cars parked on curbs. My very nice vehicle was hit and scratched by a shopping cart that went off track. The crate challenge to me is the same shit. Iβm waiting RIGHT NOW for a collection of crates to show up in the small open grassy knoll (Iβm not sure if I have a knoll...well gotdamn, I just looked it up, I do not not have a knollβa small hill or moundβI just have bitch ass patch of grass) across from my house. And you know what, I will be the first one out there filming the failures and wishing quick recoveries; Iβve seen these kids in my neighborhood run after one another. There ainβt an athlete in the whole lot.
If you have successfully completed the #CrateChallenge consider yourself lucky, otherwise I hope you have good health insurance and if youβre Black and hurt (physically, not socially or psychologically) take your ass to the doctor. You ainβt gettinβ no younger champ, those injuries linger. Also, Iβd suggest you get your cousins up on concussion protocols stat because the videos Iβm seeing are FULL of concussions.
As if COVID ainβt bad enough.
Oh, and where the fuck are you all getting all those damn crates??
