Cinnamon Girl...

It is interesting to see how much controversy the new Prince video is causing and it doesn't start airing untill this week. CNN, FOX News, and the Today show are really mad about it. The video depicts an arab girl getting harrassed after the 9/11 attacks and she has dream sequences that she is a suicide bomber. It sounds kind of bad to some but if you actually watch it you can see it is showing some of the racism that innocent arab people take because of the attacks. I read a news story today that MTV is only going to show it on MTVU, their college only channel. VH1 and BET haven't decided whether they are going to show it. Interesting since everyday I turn on BET and see videos like the Cash Money Crew flashing pistols and treating women like garbage and videos like Jay-Z's where he gets shot in the end. I guess a video with a messege about racism is too risque for them.
