My boy just sent me this email about the infamous Sprite Step Off

Sounds like Sprite felt the anger of the negro. Below is the statement that Sprite released on Facebook Wednesday:

The Sprite Step Off was initially created as a way to recognize talented college students and give out scholarships to help support their higher education. If we put on some entertaining step shows and brought people together along the way, all the better.

After the National Finals Competition this past weekend in Atlanta wrapped, we got together to do our post-competition review and found a scoring discrepancy in the sorority results. After looking at it and looking at it AGAIN, we determined there isn’t a definitive resolution.

Sprite is all about preserving the honesty and integrity of this competition. Because the scoring discrepancy can’t be resolved and due to the really tight margin between the first and second place sorors, we feel that the only right thing to do is to name both Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Tau Chapter & Zeta Tau Alpha, Epsilon Chapter, co-first place winners of the Sprite Step Off.

With these revised results, we’re gonna increase Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Tau Chapter’s scholarship prize to $100K, consistent with what Zeta Tau Alpha also got for their first prize winnings.

Thanks again to everyone who helped make The Sprite Step Off happen. And to one last stroll in the name of unity...

I bet if nobody made a big stink about this then there wouldn't have been an issue. I swear my peoples' priorities are all out of wiggity whack. Schools are being closed and they trippin cuz they lost a step off. Come on Son. Hate Hate Hate Hate Hate

The Chickens Come Home To Roost

Shout out to Zeta Tau Alpha for gettin their Tiger Woods on at the Sprite Step-Off. Tiger shocked the world by winning the Masters and the Zeta ladies shocked the world by winning a step show. You would think Buck Nasty was at the show, the way the certain people have been hatin. I say congrats. They worked hard and nobody expected them to win. They didn't make a mockery of stepping and put on a good show.

I understand that the argument that stepping comes from African traditions and that it should be kept within the Black community, but that doesn't mean other races shouldn't be allowed to learn about it. As always people can be over critical about the wrong things. For people to say that White people shouldn't step, they are being close minded, have double standards, and are pretty darn ignorant. Its not like the sorority came out in black face and clowned stepping. This is another example of people not being able to move on from the past.

Road to Redemption

The countdown is down to less then a month to deployment. Making my second trip to Iraq. I think I'm going to watch the 25th hour the night before I ship out. A deployment seriously feels like doing a bid, without the bars. I'll be lifting weights and reading books. Sorry, no converting to Islam. The time leading up to leaving, being in Kuwait, and the first month in country are the hardest parts. Once I get into a routine then I'm good to go. Just like before, there will be drama before I leave. Should have got a divorce a while ago, but the kids got the best of me. These upcoming 12 months should be pretty interesting.

I seriously can't stand women who use their children as pawns. It's no secret that I wasn't the model husband, but at the end of the day I always worked to support my family. I swear my soon to be ex wife makes me want to blow up like a Trinity Squash player, but I'm gonna play it cool. I'm pretty sure I will hear plenty more "you ain't sh*t" in the future. Ah well guess being civil got thrown out the door.
