I CANT DO THAT

[maximusmarine]

I said to myself "What's up with this dude?" Sounds like he's got some knowledge but can he dance? Dude got some serious wisdom and moves. I respect that. As long as your not a fanatic - Don't let up. Don't see too many cats like you on the scene.

i cant believe that johnny dude said japan korea n france are bigger in bboying. how can one know so much about the scene in 4 diff countries?

seriously, france is crazy, korea and japan are full of power, and usa bboys can boogie. i like it all, but man i get so sick of the powermoves.

u can tell he prob is either: asian pride, international, or just a kid. or all of the above.

You know what man, after that explosion I just put on you, I have to say sorry for being so harsh, I should've stated my points with more tact.

[Holyfiremikey]

Took me around 6 mins to type this out to you, so no you can't bust out an ad hominem fallacy after this to say I spend too much of my time writing to you as an excuse for you being proven illogical in your statements.

You're wrong about the original name, you're wrong about being an OG which you're not, you're wrong about not caring about labels because if someone called you a bad name, I guarantee you would be offended by it, because you know what that label means. "Breakdancing" to bboys is an offensive label, so it does matter.

[Holyfiremikey]

"breakdancing," because it was a catchier name and would never show the dancing to the music, but only small scenes of them flipping, or spinning on their backs. Thus because of the editing, they were made to look like urban gymnasts, and not real dancers to who related to music.

[Holyfiremikey]

That's like me saying I don't care if someone calls me a rapist, because "I don't care about names and labels." No, I would and you would be offended by that, because you don't want to be labelled something you're not.

It was called "going off" and later "bboying," when it started in the 70's. It wasn't until around the early 80's, that when television caught hold of this dance, they labeled it

[Holyfiremikey]

think "breakdancing," because that term was made by the media to mean a circus clown that spins on his head while eating a candy bar, and not really dancing, that term was made to mean a negative fad stereotype by the media. Thus why that label is negative, so I agree, don't use that label. But you're saying, forget labels, but it's okay to call it breakdancing, that doesn't make sense.

[Holyfiremikey]

when one traps someone in that label. When you label someone as being stupid or irrelevant because of a labeled ethnicity, one is being racist, this is wrong. But the reason is wrong, is because people are associating stereotypes behind that label's meaning.

So the problem here is, is that when people
