Your boy X to tha Z Xzibit took to his Twitter page a couple of days ago to say that “planking” is racist… and you should educate your ignorant selves. Check out his tweets NOW and get the REAL deal on what planking is – PLUS some great pics of the 92.3 NOW staff and Entourage planking in NYC!

Here are his actual tweets:

#Planking was a way to transport slaves on ships during the slave trade, its not funny. Educate yourselves.—

Well Xzibit, actually this is where it came from…

The lying down game or ‘planking’ is claimed to have been invented by Gary Clarkson and Christian Langdon in 1997. Similarly, in the USA, a student group from Indiana University/Purdue University at Indianapolis held a flashmob-style mass game and posted clips of the event and passers’-by reactions on YouTube, referring to the event simply as “lazy parkour.”

Ease up X, it’s only a game! Arrrrghh you’re so mean arrrggghhhh!
