Ke$ha’s Lame Fashion Fail Stigmatizes Native Racism
By Neyom Friday
Letting time pass on this issue and being silent does nothing for our people. Or future generations. This bugs me. I am livid. Or better yet, I want to make this one of the nastiest messes she will ever find herself in. My first stop is her websites Ke$ha US and Ke$ha Canada. Then I’m sending American Idol an email. And lastly contacting Fox Broadcasting Company, 10201 W. Pico Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90035, Phone: 310-369-1000, Fax:310-369-1283, Viewer Comment Line: 310-369-3066.

Thank you to EVERYONE that has gone out of their way to make their voice HEARD--if you get a chance you can read some of the postings on her FB page--it is quite entertaining, to say the least--there is a lot of valuable information there from relatives from all over--again thank you!
Please take 5 minutes, to piss someone off while doing a good deed!

LOL...they're tired? They ARE TIRED? Well...I'd rather be tired of hearing about it...then frickin' exhausted from LIVING IT!
It's classic, though. Racists always try to turn it around and ignorantly accuse those who call them on their racism of being... racist. Or "mean." Whatever. Keep calling.
Have you read about the protest of the King Philip's War game taking place in Rhode Island Saturday?
Protesting King Philip's War game
If you get reporters and bloggers to cover the event, you can send a real message. Not "Stop picking on us poor Indians" but "We're here, we're strong, and we aren't stereotypical chiefs!" In other words, use Kesha's faux pas as a springboard to educate people about today's Indians.

Thanks for this post. I have thrown in my 2 cents and sent a couple emails from my different accounts. I also passed this along to comrades to encourage them to read this article and do the same. They have done so as well. I hope the message is clear to them. We will not tolerate our culture being "dissed" like that. Rendering them the idea that we are here to fight back.

For those who wish to voice out and take a stand against racist stereotyping of Nativez. One can address their opinions/complaints to this email:
askfox@fox.com
Any questions regarding that performer on American Idol should be sent to that email above.

The only people I see here being racists is the ones complaining. It's called Freedom of Speech, protected under the First Amendment.
If you don't like it, watch something else!
Complaining about racism is the same as racism?! That "argument" is too stupid to bother with.
If you don't like this posting, Anonymous, read something else. The First Amendment protects my comments as much as it does Kesha's performance.
In other words, quit whining about protests you don't like. If you can't say anything intelligent, feel free to get lost.
Do you honestly think Ke$ha was purposely trying to offend anyone??? For gods sakes the girl would wear a garbage bag if it had glitter on it. And headdresses also look really cool. She's not a racist, she just has a unique style and adorable drunken sluttish charm.
An intent to offend isn't part of the definition of "racism." Something can be racist if the intent is benign or even positive.
Therefore, Kesha's motives are irrelevant. All that matters is the outcome, not the intent.
