Exactly what in the hell are you talking about?
"Let's not be shortsighted and make snap judgments here: How do we know the NPHC orgs aren't doing just that IN ADDITION TO showing them how to step?"
- Once again, if those "other things" that they are teaching them are so important, why is the article only focusing on the stepping? And I actually don't care WHAT "other" things they are teaching them, I don't appreciate them teaching them to step. Bottom Line.
"Because sometimes situations require exactly that. No more, no less"
Please explain to me what "situations" REQUIRE that we give them our "culture" on a silver platter. Expound upon that please.
"While I see where you are coming from, but if we are going to bridge the racial/cultural gaps in America, you have to give them the whole kit-n-kaboodle."
I repeat, what in the hell are you talking about? Do you really think that teaching some wanna-be's to step is going to "bridge the racial gap in America"?
RM, you are about to get me KRUNK up in here.
You know this really peeves me, black people are always complaining about people like Elvis Presley and his modern-day clone Justin Timberlake, and Eminem, people who supposedly "steal" and market our culture. Then when fraternities give our culture away, it is ok. So, am I to understand that as long as we teach it to them, it is OK? Because I am sure there JT has a black choreographer. Will somebody please explain to me why this is any different.
