Default Native Americans saying Outkast was racist.

The NACC (Native American Cultural Center) is accusing CBS and Outkast for their performance in the '03 Grammy's. They said that they are going to Boycott CBS and Outkast because Outkasts' performance was "racial and stereotypical" in their outfits and how they danced.

This is utterly ridiculous. I swear, everyone waves the race card whenever they can get the chance.

Anyhow guys, I created a Petition of my OWN that calls for the Boycott of Native American Services and Goods until they stop falsly accusing Outkast and CBS of "Racial and Stereotypical" performing.

http://www.petitiononline.com/bannacc/ - read it, read their site which I posted on the Petition as well to see their argument, and if you agree; sign my Petition. I want to get a lot of signatures so I can send it to CBS and Outkast to let them know they don't have to kiss the ass of minorities just because they don't like a performance.

My points were all made in the Petition, so I wont make them here.

I'm not trying to make this thread a debate on it. Just posting. Read both sides and sign either one, or neither, depending on your beliefs.

FYI, I think they can as well; but to falsly accuse CBS and Outkast of Racism is just stupid.

This is a proud day for white people. Now we don't have to be the sole bearer of the native americans, albeit deserved, hatred.

Yeah, the idea is just really to be able to voice it anyway. If we can get over 1000 signatures by the end of the year, which god I hope we would, hahaa, we'll send it to CBS just for shits and giggles.

The fact is, 7000 Indians not buying Outkast really isnt going to do anything either, my point was just that they were being utterly ridiculous.

Like I said, they resemble Peter Pan more than any Indian I've ever seen.
