I understand both points, 'onesavvydiva' it does make me mad when I see our moves or even our slang used by others and NUPE4LIFE I feel that I am justified in this feeling because when I do see other ethnic groups (including the white peeps) they seem to use the moves and the language and not know the background or have respect for it. BUT U R right we did not patent it and it is not FUBU wear (even though they got that on too).
One example is people picking up the N word that we as black folks love to use but hate when others do it, and they simply say it or do it because we do ... now that's work irks me .... they seem to be playing a game of monkey SEE monkey DO!!!!!
That's just my opinion, can you see where I am getting with this??
