The only problem I have with non-NPHC groups stepping is that they so often are not aware of the history behind the act. Very often in America aspects of African-American culture are shared with other cultures as a bridge of communication, yet as time goes on the receiving cultures fails to give credit where credit is due. We are then faced with a situation where ten years down the road the receiving (majority) culture is claiming the act as their own with no thought to its African/African-American origins. If non-NPHC groups steps, they need to learn the history and properly respect and acknowledge stepping's origins.
