Ignorance on display. Stepping was learned by the blacks from the Irish who where often billeted with them from the time of the great famine until emancipation. So, it is fair to say that “stepping” originally belonged to the “white folk” to begin with. The same can be said of tap dancing. Enough of the history lesson.
The other observation I’d make is the fact that the detractors are practicing a brand of racism, that if the table were reversed, would bring Sharpton and Jesse running for reparations. There was no error in the scoring, the white girls won–fair and square–what was done was an attempt to satiate the racists in their fold.
If it was an All African American event, why did they let the white team compete? Cultural ownership? Does that mean I can’t dance the Watusi? Forget bilingualism, multiculturalism and bi-racialism. Obama is half white…what to do? Like him we can’t be both, we must choose…and we best be choosen the color that benefits us the most and then we can go to victim heaven. It’s not about striving to do your best…it’s about what’s fair, what’s right and what we got comin’, unless, of course, it’s white.
#1..I don’t care..#2..I still don’t care..and #3..I think blacks need a super dose of reality..someone needs to inform them that in order to win in the ‘real world’..you actually have to be best..not given a pass..
OH! and #4..can any of these students, white or black, read, write, add, etc. Trust me..we don’t have a big need for dancers to save the world.
We get to see who the real racists are in this country. The same people that ignore MLK and judge a person on character instead of color. The same that voted in Obama due to pigment over all else that was there to see. The same that hate white Americans all day long.
Whatevere happened to the Messiah calming all the race issues that Republicans and white people were responsible for???
This is all a joke and black america needs to stand up to this crap and reject it. Just like Muslims need to denounce Radical Islamists.
Hate is hate regardless of how vitimized one tries to be.
Get over yourselves all people of color – stop blaming others for your issues.
“Stealing from us?” Really, like basketball, baseball, football,………
What a joke! Why not just resort to the age old practice of shutting everyone else out? Like Miss Black America pageant; NAACP Image Awards; Congressional Black Caucus; black only scholarships; et al. — then the results will be assured to be what is expected and wanted!
Of course the PC police had to make their judgment…
WHAT ABOUT THE ACLU?
or the…
NAACP
or maybe the…
NCAA
The more the black community whines, the less relevant it become.
“Cowboy up” brotha’s an’ sista’s…. it’s a big bad world.
LOL! It’s a “proud” dance? Typical media spin. All Black things are spun positively by the media. In truth it is a bunch of crude movements that are the equivalent to a gorilla beating their chest.
With the economy the way it is, whites will be stealing another cultural ownership…welfare.
Ahahahaha, this is good. Stop stealing from us? How about you stop asking for everything to be given to you by default?
What can Whites have for themselves? They can’t even have a WHITE reporter for this story.
Ones need to invent shoes before start do stepping. What tribe come up with stepping shoes? And may be blacks stop stilling basketball and all other games and anything we called civilization from white people it should be just for us!
Another funny thing is they exposed, what 12 agents to kill ONE guy? LOL! One suicide bomber will more than make up for that. LOL!!!!! That is called “fail.”
James Naismith (white) invented Basketball.
Walter Camp (white) invented American Football.
George Beauchamp & Adolph Rickenbacker (both white) invented the Electric Guitar which is what modern (black invented) blues music is based upon.
Don’t draw a line about race unless you know where it will take you. We all live in this world together so try not to forget it.
Good on them even if it cost the organizers another !00K to make a “draw” the more that is diluted to less sharppy-toon and jack-ass-on can grasp hold on as AA
hey folks you are either American or not no such thing as African American or Irish American JUST BE AMERICAN.

Hey Terry… what planet are you from?

Hey Terry… what planet are you from?
Uranus.
So they’re trying to connect the “stepping experience” with growing up with the “black experience”? You can’t appreciate the art of stepping if you’re not black? What a load of crap! I don’t recall hearing any form of basketball being played in Africa 141 years ago.
You bunch of freaking morons! You weren’t good enough to earn the title. Stop it with the poor me b*llshit. Maybe this will teach you that you have to work harder next time, and btw, stop stealing these dances from the Irish folk… Idiots.
Oh nice, a black run competition has a “scoring error” Insert your own “racist” thoughts on the non-caucasians not being able to count.
MLK, jr. taught me to judge people by the content of their character, not skin color.
“George Beauchamp & Adolph Rickenbacker (both white) invented the Electric Guitar which is what modern (black invented) blues music is based upon.”
- Don
That is not correct.
Blues as a musical form can be dated all the way back to the 1890’s. The electric guitar wasn’t invented until the 30’s.
And while Rickenbackers were the first commercially available guitars, people like Les Paul had been experimenting with mics and guitars 5 years before that.
So, they can’t do math well enough to add scores correctly to determine a winner.
so the racist blacks be hating on whitey again huh? so what else is old?
Why is CNN always obsessed with race….and other devisive issues…
CNN is third rate…
and racial issues are always a lose-lose endeavor.
Giving energy to this minor stint is bad energy
I wonder if anyone will have the courage to question todays Quirky Oscar best picture winner…
The pictures nominated are not well attended…The majority of Americans have no taste for most films out of Hollywood…
Nor do i.
They seem to have an incestual undercurrent, or sub text… Dirty, thoughtless and lacking human spirit…Who are these hollywood children of the uber rich putting out such immature vapid commericals they have the nerve to call film…They have no soul.
Precious, hurt locker, up in the air, and Avatar are real garbage.
I hope it’s not an indication of what is in the pipeline for the viewing public…
Precious to me is the product of a bunch of ne’re do wells trying to create a vehicle that will provide them steep emotions they have yet to feel in their lives…
Honey if it takes a film to make you feel…You need to get out of your head….
BLACK RACISM!!!
America’s real scourge
Give me a break! My daughter has been in competitive dance since age 10 and she is White & over the years the best dancers are White, sorry.
The black sorority was awarded the “shared” prize through Affirmative Action. (Just like the Firefighter position I applied for in my city. I was told by the job center folks, “Don’t waste your time on that job, it’s set aside for a minority woman…”)
From now on, every black team will begin the contest with 20 extra points…
If you think about it, the achievement of the white sorority is remarkable. They took a dance style, until now exclusively the province of black culture, worked hard, studied it, mastered it and performed when the chips were down in front of a hostile crowd. These are the values of their culture. Hearts and minds open to other cultures, hard work, dedication and study. The complainers however, have exhibited their cultural values: They must be given special treatment to succeed. The affirmative action mindset is one of the biggest drains on our nation that ever existed. It imposes exponential mediocraty upon all of society and prevents excellence.
the idea that anyone can own a form of artistic expression is absurd.
everybody learns from everybody.
well, except for those like the guy who made the “chest beating gorillas” comment.
so stupid to claim a certain race owns a talent?
how ’bout i say, “how dare you Blacks try to be President?” that’s a White thing!!!!
see how stupid that sounds?
this dance group was the better. its that simple. no one needs to be inventor of a thing
to excel at it or improve upon it.
Opra, Ballet, Basketball, they all started out in one Race and evolved for everyone to
enjoy and excel at.
a black man invented Peanut Butter.
am i suppose to pass up peanutButter in the supermarket?
GET REAL, WILLYA?
White people, stealing from blacks ? WHHHAAAAAA ?
Black people have stolen everything whites have ever invented ?
Please let me know…just what have black people originated ?
Penis socks ? Big plates in the lip ? Voodoo ? what else….?
Give me a freaking break and go back to your “mother land” !!!
It’s time to declare Affirmative Action a 100% complete and total failed experiment…and yes, you can have your “step-off” back…fine, we want the Presidency back that was stolen from us!
HA! March 7th, 2010 – 3:43 pm

Stealing from you? I wish that you would “steal” a few traits from us whites, like getting a job.+++++++
There are a few things White people don’t want to steal from Black people…like SELLING CRACK TO YOUR OWN PEOPLE OR THE VIOLENCE IMBEDDED IN BLACK CULTURE! My wife is Black but she acts like a human being!
Doesn’t this whine sound just like someone else that we know? Obama!!!!!!!!
Always whining and blaming someone else. lol Jokes, just a bunch of jokes…
Will you post my comments? I’ll do a little tap dance for ya…
Lol racism goes both ways baby. You just saw it.
LOL everyone knows ebony girls do not have either the coordination or the rhythem to compete with liley white bread cracker girls.
Step dancing originated with whom? If all else fails try fact checking. It orginated with the IRISH!!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepping_(African-American)
MLK’s words are known by most but go unheeded. That’s what is wrong with our world. The problem lies within our individual hearts. They are entirely corrupted by sin. Hearts are all the same, they were created equally. People are looking in all the wrong places. Examine your hearts people. Where is your character, your moral integrity, your love for your Creator and His commandment to love one another? Worse, hatred and rascism is taught. You are accountable whether or not you believe it.
CNN isn’t the only one’s obsessed with race. There are plenty of “conservatives” that are all too eager to comment on the issue.
“I wish you white people would stop stealing everything from us.”
…and I wish you black people would get off welfare and earn your money for a change.
Why is that the videos that preface with a crappy AD make you watch the ad, then flake out and don’t even show the video????
WHAT’S going on ?
Someone earlier wrote: ‘? I wish that you would “steal” a few traits from us whites, like getting a job.+++++++’
HAHAHA, AIN’T IT THE TRUTH????
I heard that Al Gore invented the peanut butter and jam sandwich.
Nevertheless I hope no one paid real money to watch those dingbats playing “stepper.”
Oh, and here’s a question; has anyone ever seen Rhaam “Bag Eyes” Emanuel in his ballet slippers?
Why aren’t the blakes down on The National Association for the Advancement of COLORED People?
If you think for a minute, you’ll see why the wigga’ girls won, especially if the judges were all blake males.
Wow! If whites would have booed black people like that, the whole story would have been about racism. Not one mention of it when it is black on white. Racial attitudes will not change until the black leadership steps up to the plate and admits that black people can be racist too!!!
@joe,
Not “can be”, ARE was the word you should have used, putting to shame any Klansman in their heyday.
“I wish you white people would stop stealing everything from us.”
If you want to get real here…the lights and PA system that plays the music was created by white folk.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Yeah hyphenates–you’ve been served!
Dancing is what Fred Astaire and his partners did. “Stepping” is just cheerleading without a football game.
Perhaps if a black team was better, then they may have won. The spirit of competition means that the best always wins. Competition is not based upon political correctness. Yet.
Tap Dancing arose when Blacks mimicked / ridiculed Irish step dancing, and adding syncopation from African dancing to it. White Broadway producers later visited Harlem clubs, saw what the blacks were doing, then incorporated their modified step dancing (tap) into musicals.

The bl@ck is a better athlete to begin with because he’s been bred to be that way — because of his high thighs and big thighs that goes up into his back, and they can jump higher and run faster because of their bigger thighs. This goes back all the way to the Civil War when during the slave trading, the owner — the slave owner would breed his big bl@ck to his big woman so that he could have a big bl@ck kid.
However, I can’t explain why those white folk won the dancin’ contest.
Let facts speak for themselves. Simply look to the Urban areas now with the new paradigm in politics in place. Success, or the lack of, speak loud, and clear. Why berate.
I thought we weren’t suppose to notice color.

-Blues as a musical form can be dated all the way back to the 1890’s. The electric guitar wasn’t invented until the 30’s.
In my comment I stated “Modern (Black Invented) Blues” not blues music as a whole. Blues today (Modern) is almost exclusively played on an electric guitar.
-And while Rickenbacker were the first commercially available guitars, people like Les Paul had been experimenting with mics and guitars 5 years before that.
Not correct, look up the patent. Les Paul came very shortly after them. Point being none of them were black!
Wow! Next thing you know black people will be playing golf. Job well done.
Somehow I doubt people would give two craps if a black man was river dancing. Think about it.
The answer to this racism is to stop giving money to Coca-Cola who perpetuated this fraud. In addition to the blackmail paid to Sharpton and Jackson by Coca-Cola, most of their charitable dollars goes to non-white entities i.e. scholarships, and internships, etc, just like most corporations. Make a statement. Stop buying their products in protest to their continued discrimination of white people. Remember, if white people protested with their dollars it would stop this as they currently make up the majority of the population.
Wonder what race the judges were?
On second thought, who really cares about a dance contest anyway?
Great to finally see some diversity in stepping !
Watching the video….the Black Steppers vs. the White girl steppers….clearly the black men AND women win the race for the most obese and dumbest looking costumes. Hands down. Give the racist black kids the best future pimp and ho awards…that is what they seem to aspire to.
And the stepping is NOT AFRICAN any more than it is Native American or Irish. Sorry Alphonso Buckwheat…you did not invent much of anything other than some part of the spear and maybe boiled chitterlins.
Whites stealing from Blacks? I’ve been ripped off by blacks, whites, and mexicans. All the same to me.
We were talking about this in my Caucasian Studies class at college.
I think white folk should do this more often. Join as many black organizations as possible. Hahahahahaha!!! We can’t have white groups – the Christian groups are discriminated against. Lets do some more “thievery” from the AAs!!! Thanks suvrec for the list – lol!
I love the hypocricy. I guess those white girls should sit in the back of the bus!!
This is just another example of how our country has been bending over backwards to placate black Americans. They have an entire month for Black History, and are given countless scholarships, and advantages to ‘equalize’ all things competitive in this country, but when they are beaten at their own game, they scream “unfair!” We have heralded every break through on their behalf, “first black baseball player” “first black mayor, or senator, or doctor, or president with tremendous fanfare, but when the situation is reversed, they throw a fit. Seems to me, that they feel that this country owes them a life time of special treatment or they are being racist. I say, THEY seem more like the racists to me.
I can just imagine the outrage if someone had made that exact same comment in reverse “I wish you Black people would stop stealing everything from us” if a Black cello player won a competition playing Mozart, or if a Black ballerina won the leading part Swan Lake or something. I do not think this faction of the Black population will ever fully understand equality, until they can appreciate that it goes both directions. They should have applauded, and congratulated those girls. It certainly would have been a lot classier.
really agreed with what they were saying and thought I would share it with you all…
was surprised by this so thought I would share it with my readers…
