Showing Original Post only (View all)Slut shaming of Miley Cyrus is sexism and racism in action [View all]
Lets be honest, Miley has committed the ultimate sin for a successful white female star. She rejected Disney and Nashville and went and hung out with black rappers. What makes it worse to mainstreet is she is still making a bunch of money with her song "We can't Stop" around 2 to 3 on the Billboard top 100 for 11 weeks. Yes she was rubbing it in, but I think mainstreet doth protest far too much.
Furthermore, her sexual prancing around is nothing we hadn't seen from Mick Jagger and men singers for 50 years. Many of her critics have hypocritically paid hundreds of dollars to go see the Rolling Stones. And god forbid she stick her tongue out like Gene Simmons or Billy Idol!
Is what she's doing any worse than singing about drinking "Kentucky Clear" and dancing on the tailgate of a pickup truck. Make no mistake about it, Miley is a very good country singer, go to You Tube and search for Miley's "backyard sessions" or her duet with Dolly Parton singing "Jolene" where she looks like a hostage. Personally I like Americana music and would rather see her sing songs like her cover of Bob Dylan's "Your gonna make me lonesome when you go" which she sang on the Ellen show and got a standing ovation. But she has the werewithall as an artist to go where she wants. This is the most controversery about art since "Piss Jesus". The hypocrisy of this whole kerfuffle is sickening
