Onesavvydiva, I understand your feelings on this subject. I think what bothers me is when someone from the black community comes up with something like a dance or slang, it is considered stupid or ridiculous until a white person picks it up and runs with it. Then, all of a sudden it is "cool" and mainstream and everyone is telling us to "talk to the hand," "get to steppin'," or saying "you go, girl."
But why are they always five years late when they do pick these things up?!?!
