My thing is how is it "our" thing? Where you a patented member in copyrighting the dance of the butterfly? How do you even know that a "black" person first choreographed the butterfly? I'm not writing to nick pick at that though. My thing is what about some of the ignorant comments made by the hosts, Shaun and Marlon Winans. Did you have anything against the constant bringing up of the "White" and "Black" cultural differences? I like the Winans but there is a time and place for everything and I feel that the awards was not the time nor place to exhibit such unprofessional slurs regarduing each individuals racial aspects. Who cares if they want to be known as "hotboys?"
But to get to my point I can understand how you might feel, but some things you just have to ignore. Cause I know I was like look at them trying to have the dancers like in the black videos. But I didn't make a big ordeal out of it. I must say I am happy that they show there appreciation for the things that our culture does by including certain specifics in there show.
It's all in a matter of how they do things. If they come at you in a professional manner then you can accept them doing those things, but if they come at you like they have a problem, then it needs to be corrected. I go to a predominately white school and for most of them they do these things to let you know that they have nothing against our people.
