Outkast soon to be an Outcast

Source: Outkast outrage

I being a partial Native American was not offended by this production by Outkast. I do not care for the groups music but the dancing and dress was not offensive in my mind and personally this country is too obsessed on what bothers people and it prevents the rest of us from expressing our artistic views for fear that we may offend someone who has nothing better to do with their life then sit in their lazy-boy and bitch. People we are in a new age and it time that we welcome other people interpretation of cultures as long as it does not come out and say "all people of this race are bad, etc." I thought the performance was well choreographed and played out. If you have nothing better to do then worry about what one persons way of expressing them selves is then you are living in the wrong country, Why don’t you try China where people are told what to believe and how to act and then you wont have to worry about people offending you. Our soldiers fought hard for us to be able to have certain freedom and expression is one of them. To go along with this I am not offend by sports teams using Native American names such as Seminoles, chief, apache etc. Personally I am proud that the people who thought high enough of the Native Americans to honor them by naming there team after them.
