Re: Yes and No
*nodding*
I agree or at least can see the point with most of what you said, although I honestly never saw it as much of an issue at college- if only because the latina frats/sororities just didn't have much stepping talent. They could do their little party strolls, and that was it.
As long as they know that when we came through they needed to move out the way, it was all good, lol. We took strolling to damn near sport levels.
Those were the days....

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO tired of other cultures "stealing" aspects of our culture, and then claiming them as their own (i.e. the Blues, Rock and Roll, jazz...) If there was truly a historical precedent for cross-cultural "Sharing" I'd have no problem with non-blacks stepping, but as in this country things tend to not be credited to whom/where they initially originated-- I have a problem.
I'm sorry, it just really burns me up to see the Hispanic/Latino (I mentioned them specifically because they do it the most) GLO's at my school stepping and taking it around parties. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Why? Go Salsa, Merengue, Mambo, I don't care--be original!!! Why step? Half of the time they dont' even know what it means!!!!
sorry...just my .08 cents.
