Miley Cyrus Asked For A 'Black' Sound For Single, Says Songwriters Rock City
http://www.vibe.com/article/miley-cyrus-asked-black-sound-single-says-songwriters-rock-city
Don't want to get too dragged into the whole racism debate again, but just wanted to quickly post this. I'm struggling to understand how people don't see any racism in her recent antics. She is appropriating the bits of black culture she thinks are 'relevant' or 'cool' for her own personal gain, and using black women as props in her performances. It doesn't sit right with me that these women are being paid to perform with her so Miley can grab their *** and make them hype her. There's no authenticity to her and its painfully obvious. She's in the 1% while exploiting a culture she is so far removed from and could never begin to understand the inequalities many within face (and propagating further stereotypes such as portraying black women down to simply sexual objects with big butts!)
And I won't say any more cause I don't want to start an argument!

They're soooo comfortable, but ugly as h*ll. I won't get caught outside of the apartment wearing mine.

Everyone uses everyone in showbiz. If the producers and dancers and anyone else felt like they were being used or exploited for her gain, they did not have to participate. They all want to be connected with her because she can advance all their careers by working and performing with her. Everyone has an agenda.
The cray cray continues in the wacky world of Miley Cyrus.
The 20-year old singer opted for food cartoon jogging bottoms and jumper with stuffed unicorn slippers to board a flight out of New Jersey on Tuesday night.
Chatting on her phone and carrying a Chanel heart-shaped handbag, this was one pyjama-like look that wasn't going to be appearing on any Best Dressed lists.

I dont understand how people think this is racist? Racism is thinking you are superior to another race. This is not what this is. Now it may make people uncomfortable and they feel like she is exploting them but thats not racism. And like someone else said almost everyone gets exploited in some way in hollywood. And those people wouldnt do it if they feel like they werent gaining something from it

I agree with you.
The people saying it is not racist are using a very narrow textbook definition. its racially insensitive for sure. The same way I would call all the native american trends and headdresses worn at summer festivals racist. Racist in the sense that the people doing it feel entitled enough to take from another races culture (out of ignorance from a superiority complex ?)and disregard any thoughts that what they are doing may be offensive. It happens all the time with native american tradition. White culture has tried to mimick it with no respect for any of it, so it becomes a mockery and highly offensive to those who.are native. It happened in the 1920s jazz era. Whites wanted to rebel against uptight victorian standards and thus adopted dance and music of black culture. It was considered contraversial the way twerking is being discussed now. I find what miley is doing very insensitive culturally. But I think its more offensive to those who have been raised with culture.
