Hey
I think if they ( blacks) want to keep somethings exclusively theirs fine.
But they can no longer wue bitch and whine about things being exclusively white.
They can’t have it both ways no matter what jesse says.

What was sad was that the majority black audience was laughing at their beginning with music box music and once these girls started kicking butt, they got booed.

All white colleges is “Racist”, but, “traditional” blacks colleges, why that ain’t discrimination bro!

As MLK could have said, Free at last, Free at last, we get EVERYTHING FREE at last!

A white Arkansas team’s win in a national “stepping” contest has sparked a fierce controversy over whether the integration of a once exclusively black college tradition constitutes a form of cultural theft.

Golf was invented in Scotland and was a 'white' game for quite some time. Funny, it was seen as a sign of progress when Tiger Woods came to dominate the game. But let a white team win in what used to be a black activity and it is to be mourned.

What a bunch of bigots.

“Why are some blacks upset about this? If a cultural touchstone of theirs becomes more popular, isn’t this celebrating diversity?”

You would think so! If someone copied one of my traditions, I would consider it a compliment. Damned if ya do, damned if you don’t.

Equality ends at birth. From then on, talent and skill matter

Exactly right. This shows the entire absurdity of “special” awards for “achievement” by race. A winner is a winner, an award is an award. To in any way taint it with who “should be allowed” to win is beyond stoooopid.

Basketbal, baseball, and football were invented by whites too, you know. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Didn’t basketball start out as a “white culture” thing? And didn’t black steal THAT from the white culture? Seems to be the case to me.

Wait a second. Can someone explain this thing about “stealing black culture” to me? That looks like Irish step dancing to me and last time I looked, Ireland isn’t located in Africa.

......And could anyone please tell me why all these girls would want to be Wiggers in the first place?.....

It’s pretty obvvious to me. From age 3 or 4 their moms made the go to dance lessons. There were recitals and the Christmas ballets with the Sugar Plum Faries et al.

They are doing what they know...... they know it well apparently

So, the Daughters of the American Revolution refused to let Marian Anderson sing at their convention in the 1930's and Eleanor Roosevelt became a civil rights hero by having her sing at some big event. This event is taught in the history books.

Fast forward to 2010 and people are arguing that white performers should be banned from an historically black event. Will this be taught in future history books?

I think it's become time to repeal all of the affirmative action laws. They are rotten and stink.

They call it “cultural appropriation” and evidently no dominant culture is supposed to adopt anything from a minority culture ever....

Was it "cultural theft" when Jackie Robinson integrated major league baseball?

“Basketbal, baseball, and football were invented by whites too, you know”

Of course, history will be rewritten to obscure those facts, too.

Good looking and great dancers. When I was in college the Zeta Tau Alpha chapter was a bunch of fat, nerdy chicks.
