Co-winners named after step show result causes controversy, sponsor cites scoring discrepancy-- Los Angeles Times


ATLANTA (AP) — After days of controversy over a white group's win in a step competition, sponsor Coca-Cola said Thursday the second-place team will share top honors.

Coca-Cola said in a statement that a review of the scoring from Saturday's national contest revealed a "scoring discrepancy" that it declined to explain. This is the first year of the Sprite Step Off, but step contests are typically dominated by black sororities and fraternities.

Step is a historically black art form of rhythmic stepping and clapping. A YouTube video of the winning performance by a group of Zeta Tau Alphas from the University of Arkansas generated hundreds of comments, some of them inflammatory.


How come their is no mention of racism? I'm just blown away by this.

I'm guessing that the scoring discrepancy is that the judges forgot to deduct points for being white?

This is pretty stupid, and I'm not white.

That's what I'm saying. It's just so blatant and sad. Coca-Cola needs to grow a pair.

Only whites are guilty of racism. Didn't you know that? Everyone else is just loving, peaceful and tolerant.

Man I did some searching, and all this stuff like white people can't dance, or do anything... you'd of thought that white people have a history of never doing anything ever.

First video I found someone shouts out "White chicks not allowed" or something of the sort....

WTF?

Should I shout this out on college campuses?

Olympics?

Or golf? Tiger Woods should be second place always because golf is known as a white sport.

www.spritestepoff.com...

2 first places? One for the white team, and one for the black team?

Guess i'm not surprised on the website there isn't one single picture out of all of them of a white person, even the winning team doesn't have a picture, compared to all other teams who have pictures.


I'm almost feeling like trying to go against the curve and not be a racist is a waste of time. Kind of feel like it'd just be easier to hate blacks, mexicans, and asians, because it appears all the other races just hate everyone else, and appears that it's NEVER going to change.........

What? You agree with institutionalized racism? Maybe these girls are the Jackie Robinsons of Step.

maybe I wasn't expecting it, .... but your post made me laugh, .... hard.


I know u were prolly trying to be serious, ... but the Jackie Robinson of Step, ... LoL.

it's true though, the Racism card is getting kilt by black people, .... all the while they can say anything they want to about White people.

What is there was a movie called Black Man Can't Swim, or something like this.

Your bleeding heart has caused you to lose your mind. To answer your question I know nothing about Step, nor do I care to. That's not the issue. I do know the history of basketball. Can I apply your logic to it or any other competition? I think the school system might have done a number on you.

Don't hate on the school systems... we (white people) own them too!

You can't discuss something you know nothing about, nor care to learn about.
