On the other hand, look at how Outkast was criticized for their Indian garb during the Grammys. If it was a white person doing the same thing, they would have been criticized even worse than Outkast was.

Are you saying that outkast should have been criticised more than they were? It's true that if a white person had dressed up as Native Americans there would have beena a political backlash. And what ever became of that? NOTHING! They were called racist by native American groups, and then that was it -- nothing ever came of it. There seems to be a racist double standard. Where many people are absolved of responsiblity.

Oh, Usher is a musician, and obvioulsy likes to discuss politics.
