But I wasn't arguing that the dance shouldn't be in the Olympics at all. I don't care if it is or not, since I wouldn't watch it anyway. It IS a culturally black-American form of dance expression, whether people want it to be or not. And it is disappointing, to me personally, that since the Olympics chose to have breakdancing this year, that there were no black female breakdancers competing.

If they were going to include this at all, I agree with you. If they are going to include any folk dancing in the Olympics I’d also like to see the Cossack dances included. However, I personally have learned a new thing.
