If a white youth group chanted Bush Bush Your Right or whatever, you Obama people would be up in arms. But of course hate the Non-Obama and no we dont have to like the next president. I dont like him because of his shady past, his agenda and clearly what he wants to do.
Who put the Delta teams together? Bush? I seriously doubt it.
But I bet they'd do what he tasked them to do.
Militant does not equal military. In fact, they are often on opposite sides.
Good on Hitler for getting kids motivated to get out and march. That didn't lead to anything bad.
Good on Jim Jones for getting people motivated to get out of their rut and move to Belize to work for themselves. That didn't lead to anything bad.
Good on Robert Mugabe for getting people motivated to vote. That didn't lead to anything bad.

Looks like a a step team to me, that's a stand intro walk for a step routine used by millions of teams around the country, from small-time teams to college frats and sororities.
I'm sort of in a rush so I didn't read any other responses, and from what I saw when I clicked the link...well it was just a video.
Anywho, looks like something I would implement in a dance routine.

Stepping (African-American)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stepping or step-dancing is a form of percussive dance in which the participant's entire body is used as an instrument to produce complex rhythms and sounds through a mixture of footsteps, spoken word, and hand claps. Though stepping may be performed by an individual, it is generally performed by groups of three or more, often in arrangements that resemble military formations.
Stepping may also draw from elements of gymnastics, tap dance, march, or African and Caribbean dance, or include semi-dangerous stunts as a part of individual routines. Some forms of stepping include the use of props, such as canes, rhythm sticks and/or fire and blindfolds.
The tradition of African American stepping is rooted within the competitive schoolyard song and dance rituals practiced by historically African American fraternities and sororities, beginning in the mid-1900s
History
African American stepping finds its origins in a combination of military close-order and exhibition drill, and African foot dances such as the Welly "gumboot" dance. It also originally drew heavily from the stage routines and movements of popular R&B groups such as the Temptations and The Four Tops. During the mid-20th century, traditionally-black fraternities and sororities on United States college campuses traditionally sang and chanted to celebrate "crossing over" into membership of their respective organizations. Notwithstanding its collegiate roots, stepping is also performed by schools, churches, cheerleading squads, and drill teams.
Popularized by National Pan-Hellenic Council member organizations that perform at local and national competitions, stepping has been featured in films and shows such as School Daze (1988), Mac and Me (1988), Drumline (2002), Stomp the Yard (2007), and the TV series, A Different World and Sister, Sister. The first nationally syndicated stepping contest, S.T.O.M.P., aired in 1992, and The Howard University "Beta" chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha stepped at former President Bill Clinton's inauguration, after appearing in a Foot Locker commercial in December 1992.
