Ruh-roh. White girls won the step contest

clicky

...well... at least until "further review" discovered a "scoring discrepancy".

Uh... sure.

Quote

On Thursday, Atlanta-based Coca-Cola Company, which sponsors the college step dancing competition, announced that because of a scoring discrepancy in the sorority results, the second-place winners, the Tau Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha, Inc. from Indiana University, would be recognized as co-winners and awarded the same $100,000 prize as Zeta Tau Alpha.

"co-winners".

An amazing performance. The Youtube video shown on the link above.

“We are just keeping a positive attitude about it," she said. "We are excited to still have $100,000 for our scholarships and we are excited that someone else can have some money to help them out as well."

Well, at least rap/hip-hop music is still safe from racial pollution...oh wait.

not surprising. In the name of social engineering and racial justice, discrimination against white people is acceptable now. That is just the name of the game.

In all fairness though, before I could really pass judgment, I would have to see both routines back to back. No doubt those girls could move though.

..."nope, not there"
..."not there either"


Sorry, I can't seem to find my give-a-fuck. Getting butthurt over an extra scholarship being handed out is no less absurd then expecting reparations for something that happened to your great-great-uncle-in-law.

From link in OP:

Quote

Anthony Antoine, 40, of Atlanta, who posted the popular YouTube video, said he was shocked when he received more than 1,000 comments on the post -- many focused on race.

"The bottom line was they didn't care if the girls were better or not, the people that were upset were saying white girls should not have won, period," Antoine said. "I think this is bigger than a step competition. Race relations in America still needs a lot of work,” he said.

If true, that's fucked up.

Strange to whom? It's a dance team competition. Competitions in, for example, couples ballroom dancing may be in a different genre but it's otherwise essentially equivalent.

Put more broadly, it's a competition among performance artists. Musicians - young cellists, for one example - compete in those all the time.

I think they should give $200,000 to their amazing black choreographer...

can you point out where you've spotted this racism?

step-dance is a part of white American culture too.

Last May I was in Galax, Virginia on a Friday night. There is this theatre there where they do a live radio broadcast of bluegrass bands every Friday night. There's some floor space between the audience seats and the stage, and when the band started to play, people streamed up out of their seats and went up & started dancing.

This was a pretty much all white crowd, and over half of them knew how to do Appalachian step dancing really well. It's part of the culture there.

That was a rhetorical question, wasn't it?

After the ZTA video is over on the link provided above you can scroll through a bar that appears and find the AKA video.

Both the videos have their own quality problems.

You be the judge.
