OMG. Really?

I cannot handle Miley and Kanye together. It's too much. My ears will explode.

I just watched the "blurred lines" video again and those girls are so much hotter, it's not even fair to compare.

If I had a body like the brunette in that video, I'd be doing topless videos too. I must've missed the comparison in this thread...but IMO there is no comparison. There's nothing sexy about Miley.

=/ I am deeply saddened by the fact that some people are not seeing the racism in it - and even more, defending that it has no derogatory racial ties.

I would be nude 24/7 if my body looked like that. You wouldn't be able to stop me. Trust.

I just tried to but I'm on my mobile and it's not working.
Try Googling "Blurred Lines unrated".

Saw this and threw up a little.

I kind of wonder what Miley's *** looks like without the poor fitting nude bottoms--those things are so tight they are squishing her bum all over the place. Don't get me wrong, she def has a pancake bum, but I think she's getting a lot of grief over her bum that really should be over poorly fitting clothing.

So now Miley is getting "credit" for twerking? The Twerk Team been twerking for years for free and Miley just came in and stole their thunder.

I don't even like all the twerk videos... but I am not gonna deny the obvious Cultural Appropriation here... matter of fact the whole entire show except for Gaga's set was Cultural Appropriation...

Well I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that white people weren't allowed to have an opinion about something being "racist" or not.... If I wrote that "I always find it funny when a bunch of black people etc...", I'd be called racist! But the thing is I wouldn't say that, seriously people need to think before they type divisive crap.
The definition of racist is: a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
Definitely doesn't apply to girl trying to be like another race.

The main issue black people have with Miley and her newfound obsession with the black culture is that it looks like she is making a mockery out of it... she only imitates the fun part of what she thinks is black culture... but she doesn't know the full experience... it's just a phase to her... and it's contrived and inauthentic... and she might be getting a pass now... but she is gonna end up crossing the line at some point... just like that episode of Girlfriends when Lynn's sister came to visit...

Oh but you dont have a problem with those bringing racism into this. SMH. besides I am not talking about a specific "religion". Just giving my two cents like everyone else on here.

What is this semi-recent obsession with Twerking anyway? Is it a part of black culture? Where did it originate from?

The uncensored version of Blurred Lines is the only version showed here. Those girls are so hot! Wish my boobs looked like that when I dance...

Yes... it originated from African culture...

As a student I wrote many essays on cultural appropriation, post-colonial theory etc. and I'm very familiar with the arguments/topics but I found the articles written about the racial aspects of this particular event quite sloppy. I don't expect articles written in 2 days to be academic treatise but I feel they need to be a bit more rigorous and nuanced in applying the arguments to a pop cultural flash point. I think if it isn't done right there is a danger in reinforcing racial divisions/categories... which is not in the true spirit of the original argument/s.
