Taylor Swift's latest music video is being battered by critics who claim it is racist and pandering to 'rich white fantasies' from a colonial era. The video for Wildest Dreams, which was revealed during the MTV VMA Awards coverage on Sunday, has a mainly white cast and revolves around two 1950s-era movie stars - played by Swift and Gran Torino actor Scott Eastwood - filming in Africa. There are only two black actors, who play soldiers, and they appear in the background. The mock film crew are white. Director Joseph Khan insists the video is a 'love story' and has no political agenda. But music fans have rushed to Twitter to describe it as 'colonial garbage'.

What else is new. She’s White. She’s popular. She’s got deep pockets. She’s got a bulls-eye on her White forehead.
Who could have seen this coming.
I had hope for Taylor having some common sense until she closed the VMAs with her celebration that girls can now play soldier and boys can play with dolls or some garbage.
Well they would really hate Toto for “Africa”. I know I do.

Oh oh. Another honky “offended” some stupid sum b*tc*. People love to be “offended” these days. Since they’re out of work anyway, it gives their lazy @$$es something to do.
“But music fans have rushed to Twitter to describe it as ‘colonial garbage’.”
Ah, Twitter. Letting the perpetually outraged make complete jackwagons of themselves in 140 characters or less.
Hadn’t heard that song in years, and I don’t think I ever saw the video before. Thanks.
I think she’ll just shake it off.
‘colonial garbage’...
That’s what the majority of white folks under 30 think America is.
Because they are Spoiled Lazy Indoctrinated Dolts.
Proud to say only one out of six nephews and nieces might be hard left. He just says he’s apolitical.
I’m sure most FReepers’ kin lean right.
I HATE that song lol.
We’ve gone from Led Zeppelin and when I was 18, GnR, to this!
She is starting to dress and act like Miley Cirus
I wish she’d stuck with country music. Not a big fan of her pop.
It’s about time we all “went Trump” and unabashedly discarded political correctness. If they don’t like it, tough s***.
I came to the conclusion some time ago that the only rational response to this kind of crap is "F*** your PC dogma."
Being called a racist means nothing anymore. You have Farrakhan openly calling for black men to sacrifice themselves by murdering white people and that isn’t even called racist. Being called a racist by a liberal is an empty insult that has no weight at all with anyone except the most radical of MSM reporters.

Racist? Actually I like the song. First time I’m hearing it and I do like it. There is nothing racist about it sheesh. Taylor is a big lib and proceed from the song or video is going to a animal conservation. I guess she was sadden by Cecil death.
And you know what? People kind of respect you for not bending over. Trump can say s*** that no other candidate can for that reason.
I love that song...very 80’s when music was still great.
