I partly feel what you're sayin but not everyone's inspiration is going to be the same and if someone does see someone else of the same race getting down and that inspires them then so be it. It's a start and it's leading them into the right direction. I dont believe anyone should start doing something solely based off of seeing some1 else of the same race do it but some people doubt themselves when they are a minority in a certain field& that might propel them to wanna do it even more. Plus sometimes just to see some1 else of the same ethnicity succeed makes some peep be like "dam o shuit i can do that shit 2"

I dance with these hispanic krumpers & the majority of them were inspired by the two leaders of their fam when they saw them krumping(which is an african american dominated dance genre) and that gave them the courage and inspiration to start krumpin themselves. they used to bang and be in2 all the wrong shit and to see a situation like this occur, gives me the impresssion that if something inspires someone in the right way then it's cool. It's not cool to state what should and shouldnt inspire someone.

That's the ordeal I'm talking about. People have these lenses that believe that only if someone of a same race can do it, I can do it. If someone has that issue, that problem is nothing more than self confidence. Look at tiger woods. Before Tiger woods hit, how many black golfers were there? Exactly. Now if tiger woods have that main mindset that you were saying, than he wouldn't be where he is today. There are many names on that list. Venus Williams. Barack Obama. Jero (First black classical japanese singer in japan. JAPAN!!)

It's nothing more than a mindset to allow negativity to come in, believing, "Oh I can't do this because I'm black, or Asian, or White." Like the whole "white people can't dance thing," makes me sick. It sounds like to me your friends you were talking about was introduced into krumping personally, not inspired. There is a difference. Inspire in this case refers to, "I don't believe I can do it." And the main cause is race. Which resorts back to my original statement which is definitely common, the "we vs them" mentality.

Overall, it's perfectly fine for a person of the same race to inspire you to do something. But they shouldn't be anymore inspiring than someone of a different race, ESPECIALLY regarding something like bboyin, where one the core focus of bboyin is Unity. Unity means all races, not just black people.

well in my opinion blacks are more know for the booty dancing.....well for me being of carribean descent im taught to "wine" dance to soca and kumpa first

i learned about bboy through the internet and my brother...

the main reaons that black girls aren't in bboy is because we wouldn't have the support...for example i live with a very overprotected father...so the idea of me doing bbgirling is hard for him

i feel if we had the strong support group that can be seen by the asians and the caucasins then maybe we can get somewhere...i just think it will be us girls (regardless of race) to educate ourselves and each other of the benefits of bgirling

wow i feel comfortable here already(fyi this is my second post lol)

black girls in the b-girl seen i would to throw my 2 cent in well in the begining
black girls were the first dancer's when kool herc & africa bam first started hiphop
they were called the "zulu queens" this is around the year 1973 when zulu nation
first came out the girls were all black & the famous b-girl of them all wuz shy-rock
if you seen beat street you see her in the movie singing "us girlz can boogie too we can daNce we can shake it" then it just died out even at that time me being
black myself that wuz the only dance pretty much poping at the time hiphop wuz
fresh it wuz brand new even all the bboys were black at one point in time i have footage of it myself it's called "breakin & entering" as the years rolled on other dances pop up being honest with you black people make up dances every other
month..so that pretty much erase whole lotta b-girls even drop more bombs on here for all that know her angie stone! type her up on google or youtube her "b-girl name wuz angie "b" that bee stood for break girl so pretty much black girls

just moved on in life in europe it's whole different seen i can't speak for europe
but i know they kept it real & black girls the few kept it real with themselfs and another thing there wuz a girl name neecee wuz smoking the first time she seen
breaking wuz from kareem & iron monkey there are both black guy's so neecee wuz tripping bcuz she never seen black b-boys up close neecee wuz basket ball
player in high school she asked iron monkey to teach her how to break & her already being a tom boy pick it up like nothing! i am not talking about lil shuffles into chair freeze i am talking about 5 flares to 1990 back to swipes into windmills
that wuz the first time i ever seen black girl do real power moves neecee got lil fame out her in sacramento battling guy's but she had no support from family members & friends in high school neecee went to all black high school this wuz like 4 years ago! she stop period & never wanted to come back to the seen again

see it's different coming from black girl point of view bcuz if you are b-girl & your friends are other things it's hard for you around the block black people are quick to judge specially if you live in the hood it's hard oak park "sacramento" home of the gun shoots & people getting arrested for selling drugs so that wuz it i never seen any other dancers black girls sense then i wish there wuz more but i know they are out there in other city's but if your reading this please try to make history in the seen you girlz need to show yourself more battle in the contest so people can see w"sup that my lil 2 cents on the black girlz in dancing peace!

heyy i dont think it really matters where you from, what colour age race etc you are i think its all about the breakin. like we're all in the same place doin the same thing, so its not always got 2 be about who you are, or why your there its about what you do when your there!!

but im a white gal from england and if anything i would say that there are less white gals out there doing there thing over here now a days.

like the part of the country where im from, all the comps and that are about a style wich called 'freestyle' but not as in hip-hop breakin, its all about having your hair pulled out your face on top of your head, with the biggest make up and sparkly outfits and leotards, and they classed it as 'street'.
if looked hard enuff there was the whole hip-hop thing going on just it wasnt well publicised, and didnt get anywhere in comps.
Thats why when we (my team) turned up we had all the girls bitching, saying we wouldnt get anywhere mainly because we had a male instructor and we turned up in black sweats and baseball caps
it was from that point it was no longer about going in there just to dance, we went in to prove a point and show them that what they was doing, couldnt be classed as 'street' and that just because we wernt orange didnt mean we could show them what street was realy about.

(as you can probly tell we stopped them comps to find ones more into the whole hip-hop culture where we were battling crews doing the same thing as us)

but we had tha same thing up in london not so long ago in a place were it was mainly a black population. we were told that white girls couldnt dance, (even tho our crew is mixed race). if anything it just made us more determined to show what we could do, we didnt care if we won or not as long as we changed some peoples minds. We just wanted to show that just because our crew wasnt all white, or all black or all asian that we could still do our thing. That like i said at the top it doesnt matter who you are or where you come from, or in fact why your there, its all about what you do when your there and what makes you stand out from all teh other crews or dancers there.


just thort id have my say lol
