talking for talking, STFU !

Outkast rulez ! :thumbsup

I was just quoting that article, I think it's retarded.

so do I !!!!

Don't give a fliying fuck what the fucking indians think! Bunch of friggin' whiners. :321GFY

here's an idea, get over it. (not u the poster of this thread, btw)

doubt outkast put any thought into mocking anyone.

Idiots. So anyone dressing in indian regalia is racist because it's culture as entertainment?

who's outkast?

Jeez..where's everybody's sense of humor..what's next..a rage because of a black titty on super bowl halftime :Graucho

I really don't give a shit but what if they had come out eating water mellon and fried chicken or maybe crucifying jesus?

One persons joke is another persons entertainemnt and most people are overly sensetive.

THIS article is so damn stupid. It's racist because he was wearing it? What type of explanation is that? Some of these assholes take clothing too damn seriously. Assholes. :boid


Gab

And all those Atlanta Brave Fans who sing the Indian War song and do the Tomahawk Chop aren't racist?

I grew up around the Native American culture living close to an Indian reservation. Ive had a lot of Native American friends over the years and I do know they take there ceremonies very serious. I once had the honor of sitting in on a ceremony that very few "white" people have seen before. Its pretty powerful stuff.

That being said I can understand if Outkast was mocking one of there ceremonies directly, but that article spoke in general. Sounds like a bunch of bullshit. Someone always has to bitch about something nowdays. I will have to see what some of my Native American friends have to say but I bet they say that article is all bullshit as well.

hell white boys dress like the brotha's all the time you dont hear fharakhan freakin out

yeah but one is a culture that most ALL Indians ahdered too.. it's how they lived. The other is the "whiteman's projection" of "lazy porch monkies" even though there were tendencies in that direction (eating chicken wings or whatever)

werd homey.

'nuff said

people cry racism over the stupidest shit these days

Damn Indians... now I'm glad we took all their land and gave them small pox.




(I'm joking, for the record)

Is wearing feathers racist better tell that to the girls in rio.

Melanie,

I understand the point of your article, but you unfortunately are fanning the flames of unhealthy conservatism to the extreme. You need to realize that television is entertainment. This isn?t the 1950?s anymore, and we can all be mature about what we see on television without throwing a fit. Keep in mind that EVERYTHING can potentially be ?offensive? to anyone. Where do you draw the line as to what?s appropriate to show on TV? Should we just not air anything at all? I mean, I find George W?s speeches to be extremely offensive when he?s talking about bombing the hell out of innocent 3rd world countries. Should we take the president off the air? The answer to that is no, I can ( and do ) turn the TV off when there?s something I don?t want to watch. Nobody is holding a gun to your head forcing you to watch this ?offensive? programming. And we?re not 10 years old either, I can make my OWN decisions what I want to watch. I don?t need some conservative right-winger such as yourself lobbying to restrict everything that rocks the boat on TV. I don?t need that, and this nation doesn?t need anymore censorship.

Outkast should be free to wear whatever they want, whenever they want, however they want. I don?t care if they dance around naked, either. I don?t care if you perform in a clown suit. Why should I care? It?s a thing called freedom of expression, and it goes along with living in a democratic society where we can make our own decisions about the life we live. Sounds like you?d like to take away our freedoms as well, because people just might get offended?

Living in America means accepting that people won?t always agree with the way you feel. That?s why we have the freedom that we have. That?s what makes this country special. Please respect that, as I don?t think you?d appreciate your freedom of speech being taken away.

wait... something serious... on GFY... :eek7

If your TV offends you, throw it away. People need to shut the fuck up. :Graucho

I like racism, it keeps me around people like me.

Who wouldnt, its downright stupid

shut uo just shutip

I read the article though, and it does look like a piece of junk.

This seems it up nicely

"Broadcasts, and OutKast, are protected by the constitutional right to freedom of expression, even if an act has the potential of offending an entire culture. The FCC instead leaves those decisions about what is offensive up to local stations and networks themselves."



Welcome to the United States of Whiners

Brother Elk has his right to free expression but I think calling Outkast racists will be pusing it ...

Some people need to get over themselves.

I have to agree with the common consensus here. I think if any were offended by it than they need to get a life. It doesn't make you racist for noticing someone is Indian, white, black or any other color, it makes you observant. WTF is wrong with that? People are so anal retentive about shit its laughable. And if dressing like some other culture is racist than I guess most of us are guilty of that. I'm always wearing some kind of Hawaiian shirt and I'm not Hawaiian. Some of my jeans are baggy and I'm not black. It's just stupid, I'm not racist. I hate everyone equally; race just allows me to group my hatred of humanity by color. :)

:2 cents:

I didn't find it offensive, in fact I have been searching the net to see if that performance is out there so I can see it again.

It was the most entertaining performance I have seen in a long time and aI loved it. I think Indians should be proud...but it seems that in todays world it is all about complaining.

WOW !

I'm suprised that they're not saying that link above is racist and try to get the video banned. If you mouseover on the image, it'll show an indian getting fucked and sucking off the white man. I guess on the possitive side, he does get his salad tossed which might make up for it, ha ha ha.
