Viral Video Of BYU's White Dance Team Gets Them Slammed As 'Culture Vultures' Who Love Our Style But Won't Kneel With Us
Brigham Young University's dance team lit Instagram and Twitter on fire for their recent choreography to Ayo & Teo's "Rolex."
But for all the admiration that they garnered, the white BYU Cougarettes squad from Provo, Utah, also came under fire for what some deemed as cultural appropriation of African-Americans for using the hip-hop dance to go off without feeling the responsibility to take a knee during the national anthem the way many Black football players are being berated for.
Here's some of the heated reactions they generated.

Well, BYU?
Their routine also spawned this food for thought ...
People want answers.

Do you agree? If they're going to embrace hip-hop so openly, should they also kneel during the anthem?
