Very often in America aspects of African-American culture are shared with other cultures as a bridge of communication, yet as time goes on the receiving cultures fails to give credit where credit is due. We are then faced with a situation where ten years down the road the receiving (majority) culture is claiming the act as their own with no thought to its African/African-American origins. If non-NPHC groups steps, they need to learn the history and properly respect and acknowledge stepping's origins.

ditto...give credit where credit is due...and ALWAYS remember where you came from...and give proper attribution to the VARIOUS origins of stepping...which combined...have made it the strong and creative art it is today...
