I don't really see a problem with non-Divine Nine groups stepping I would just rather the steppers be black. Maybe its archaic, or a little un-PC, but that is how I feel in my heart. 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.
