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.

I actually enjoyed Outkast at the Grammys, I thought any criticism was not warranted, but again, the criticism they did get was minimal compared to what it would have been if a white band had done it. Then again noone seemed to criticize the Village People for that, so then again, I could be wrong.
