I was enjoying a few off moments of my Social Media time when I was presented with a video of these delightful girls of Kappa Delta at a Stompfest. At first I thought that it was the Ques, trying to break it on down. Yeah, I felt the same way too when I watched it: -Angry -Defensive, like somebody stole what last little bit of cheese I had -Disappointed -Washed Out -Done So no, I never stepped except for at my probate. I'm not the most rhythm having Delta. However, stepping to me always felt like something that came from my soul. Even when I only did it in my living room by myself or with my sands.

Does Stepping Belong to Us?

Stepping always seemed like something that belonged to us, it was raw, coming from a Black Greek culture with rich traditions in our music, dance and the struggle of slavery. And for some of us, the struggle of pledging. I mean have they even WORN these types of boots before? I wore mine for a LONG time.

When I was in college there were some Greek letter organizations not in the NPHC who were having step shows and actually fought us to be in our Step Shows so fiercely that in later generations the Fresno State chapters ended up having to take the show off campus so that it could not be "infiltrated."

A Step Away from Black Face?

So nobody wants to divide people, we just want to do our own thing when its ours. Is that unfair? Is it unfair that this video looks like it trivializes and makes fun of our culture? Just a step away from Black Face, in my opinion. Being a member of a Black Greek letter organization is an institution that lies deep in Black American roots, like church. Stepping is a large part of the Black Greek culture. Why have these fraternities and sororities not adopted our strong sense of community or public service, but can only imitate the dancing and gold boots that they see in movies or when a few of them come to our step shows. What about the Sprite Step off in 2010?

Don't they have cultural celebrations or dances of their own?

I get it that the world that we live in is a big old salad or soup or whatever you wish to call it. I am just asking if we should we be mad if stepping becomes diluted and just like we cannot wait for the new Robin Thicke to drop will we soon be buying tickets to step shows for all types of greek shows?

Should we mind if Other Greeks Step?

Is Bravo REALLY Anti-Violence or Just the New Jerry Springer? #RHOA

We all know about VH1 on Monday nights

-The Love and Hip Hop Franchise -The Basketball Wives Franchise & anything else that Mona Scott Young can think of. Vh1 is all Tom Foolery all of the time and we do not expect anything any different. However, Bravo used to be a channel with some dignity. Over the past season Andy Cohen has repeatedly been sharing that this is the Real Housewives of Atlanta's most popular season, but it has also been the most violent.

READ >>> Remember Apollo and Peter's Fight?

Nobody likes Andy Cohen and his shows more than I do, I love Sunday nights, drinking a glass of wine and cackling with my family as we side-eye each other while watching Nene, Kenya and now even the husbands "do the fool" on Bravo. But after the notorious fight with Apollo, Peter and Kenya's friend, The Mama Joyce Shoe Throwing and then Kandi threatening to DRAG Cynthia Bailey's sister I can only beg the question,

"Is Bravo the new Jerry Springer Show?"

Married to Medicine is really no better with the wives of Atlanta's doctors and surgeons gossiping about each others children's paternity like Ratchet's and then fighting at black-tie parties when does it end? Probably never, but I think that Andy Cohen and the rest of the Bravo production company are dead wrong to say that they are anti-violence when they promote it like crazy when there is a physical altercation and allow it to be taped. It reminds me of the season Finale on Scandal, "Get those camera's out of my face." Says the Vice President and then her campaign manager encourages them to keep on filming.

Bravo is saying, "Physical violence is against our policy."

But we all saw Porsha Williams literally DRAG Kenya Moore by her hair like a rag doll down the stage. That footage had to be edited and approved. So what policy exactly is it against? And in my opinion, they sent Porsha home because they didnt want to pay her for the show. Now I dont know if they did or not, but those cast members make a large amount of their money on those reunion shows. And Porsha needs that money. I personally feel like reality TV has been wanning for a while and that viewers have been bored. Violence kicks it up a notch and gets us watching again. So why even say that we are against violence, Bravo? Tweet with me and tell me what you think @ClassySharelle Classily Yours, Sharelle D.

3 Myths of Jealousy and Relationships

Jealousy is a destructive force that can ruin lives, loves and friendships. When jealousy shows up nothing is ever the same again. Yet, many believe that this negative emotion can be used to achieve positive gains. How they come about this misguided idea is anyone's guess. I can only suggest that because it is an emotion so close to some's nature, they mistakenly believe it can bring good results as no one wants to think that they are negative or are the author of negativity.

Here are the 3 biggest myths of relationship building:  READ MORE
