Looks like CBS is apparently in trouble yet again, this time over something so ridiculous it makes your head spin.
pin:
Now the Native American's are all up in arms over Outkast's performance on the Grammys in which they along with the backup dancers were dressed as Indians. Give me a fucking break already!
Okay, I would formally like to lodge a complaint. I was highly offended by that performance as well, but only because I couldn't understand a word Andre 3000 was saying. I feel I lost valuable time in my life sitting there when I could have been here on this board. I would like $1 million for my suffering.
Outkast performance racist?
So Rooner, what's your take on all this?

I was offended by the fact that it's morally OK for TV cameras to provide close-ups of Andre 3000 jumping around the stage topless, but Janet Jackson pops a blurry nipple out for two seconds in a mid-distance shot, and suddenly our Puritan ancestors rise out their graves and start witch-hunting all over again.
Did anyone get pictures of beyonce's recent nip slip?
And about the Outkast thing I'd like to say that every native american I've ever seen dresses in tight fitting bright green outfits. Absolutely offensive.
Ludicrous. This nation is so god damn sue happy it makes me sick. Just like people wanting to sue over the name Redskins. Im Indian, and I love the Redskins. Whats offensive about it? WE HAVE RED FUCKIN SKIN! Granted, the darkies wouldnt like it if there was a team called the brown skins, but they tend to be a little sensitive to any race issue. One thing I was always proud of about my race is that we probably got shit on worse than alot of other races, but kept quiet about it, and just dealt with it. I guess thats changing. Im so sick of this shit. What the fuck did they hurt dressing like Indians? Are they upset that those back up dancers cost real indians some work? Gimme a fucking break, 90% of the fuckers are drunk and huffing paint on the res. Do they think they are mocking our race? I consider it an honor. Just like the Skins, the Braves, the Indians, the Blackhawks and any other Indian related mascot. Anytime the image of a native american is made mainstream, I am proud. The problem is that everyone wants to own the image so they can fucking make money off any time someone wants to use it. Thats the bottom line. Its this greedy capitalistic society. They arent getting their dime off of it and it pisses them off. Gimme a fucking break.

Come on, what would I be if I didnt throw a little senseless racial blurb in there? You know anytime race issues come up, we gotta bring you guys into it.
