I didn’t see it and glad I didn’t but civil rights has been set back 50 years, especially in N. Carolina! I hope their scheme for rigging the elections fails!
Miley’s vulgar and moronic display didn’t set back the Civil Rights movement, but it put a serious dent in the effort to get people to appreciate white people who dance.That awful little hose-bag made me want to hang up my “rock-n-roll shoes” for good.
Be sure to remind yourself of that should you ever be inclined to criticize something you’ve seen or heard. If you weren’t forced at to watch it (or hear it), I guess you’ve no legitimate right to pass judgment on it, right?
I’m guessing this wasn’t meant to be as offensive as it is—but you do realize that it basically says that civil rights means nothing? And furthermore, that “those dark skinned people” are to blame for sexualized dances / the degradation of white women / some other similar, tired old racist trope? (As if ass-shaking were something that didn’t exist a century or a millennium ago…)
I’m not after Olfart’s jugular, I’m just questioning his contention that we shouldn’t have opinions because we weren’t forced to watch. Usually we are in agreement on most things, but reasonable people can disagree on some things and still agree on others (unlike the conservatives, who insist that all be in lock-step, or be replaced by someone who is).
Madonna has done some attention-gobbling stuff (The “Sex” book was kind of dullsville, frankly) But I don’t recall anything quite this tasteless. Maybe it was supposed to appeal to adults who fetishize furries?
Those people don’t just make money, tons of money just by shocking us, in the case of a child star like Miley, drawing attention no matter what is almost a matter of life and death! Those people got their regular lives (school) put on hold for stardom at like age ten. They don’t get attention, they are dead. They can’t do anything else with their lives!

Anyone that expected “classy” from the music “industry” hasn’t been paying much attention…

Offended? Hardly, I’m amused.

I bet Miley will apologize all the way to the bank.

I fail to see the connection between civil rights and a silly dance that was either not choreographed worth a crap, or executed the same.
