Some of y'all literally use the word "cringe" so much for things that aren't even cringeworthy that it's lost meaning lol.

Y'all don't know how many people young and old are advocating that this be the greeting from now on. And it's going to take off.

SMH at people downplaying a cultural revolution in this thread
I swear if Dr King and Brother Malcolm were still around; they would watch the movie together and agree on its awesomeness

This was purely tongue in cheek ... lol

EDIT:

Wanna see Obama and Biden do it

''Most culturally diverse city on the planet"

Yea ok bro.

Over 51% of the city was foreign born in origin/of a minority group back during a census in 2011.

The city grows by close to 100k or so per year

The majority of immigrants move to Toronto upon arrival, and then a mix of Vancouver/Montreal, and then to the rest of Canada.

We are now in 2018

Toronto is what you get if the United Nations was manifested in the form of a city state, and works as a mosaic of multiculturalism.

Weird how there's 2 angles of that. There is a black and white gif of the same moment in full but it's one angle.

Guys this is not cringeworthy. Cringeworthy is when you try to do that handshake but the other person doesn't reciprocate.

When I greet a person, I extend my hand, clamp down hard, and shake once, twice, thrice, release. I never break eye conctact. I never yield.

Something I've yet to master is how to properly bring a handshake in for a hug. It's always a mess.

A) I don't see this as cringeworthy, it's cool, tbh. B) I live in Toronto, it's absolutely an incredibly diverse city...the most diverse in the world is a little crazy, but I'm not that surprised.

That's lame as fuck.

I'm half African and I'm loving what this movie means for the community but some of this shit is getting absurd

It's a cool handshake! But I probably wouldn't attempt it because I'm an uncoordinated goober and I'd awkwardly mess it up and make the whole situation weird.

I mean...people have been doing greetings/fives/handshakes like that since forever, especially in urban communities, so I didn't see this as cringeworthy. I thought it's cool as hell - it's an authentically black thing, so to see that extended in this fictional world of royalty and superheroes was fucking dope. They turned a royal greeting into a handshake that wouldn't be out of place in Harlem. Awesome.

I hope I see this more and more everywhere amongst black people.

Offer the diagonal hand handshake (like if you were helping someone up off the ground), then pull them in for the hug. If they resist or start to mess it up, you'll look stupid... so armbar them to assert dominance.
