PC Art

[billy]

The new music video for Florence + the Machine's song No Light, No Light has been accused of racism in the way it contrasts Christian symbolism with voodoo imagery. Here's the video and an article on why it's being considered racist: http://www.racialicious.com/2011/11/22/n...supremacy/
Do you think the video is problematic? Also, should modern artists be more careful about how they use other cultures for their art?

no i don't, the same way i don't see a good video as problematic, let's face it, Christianity stole all it's symbolism from other religions anyway. but back on track. i can turn the vid off should i think it un suitable for me, (which i did because it sucked). kids should be given enough information to know it's just a music vid, if they watch this then become racists they were doomed before seeing the vid. i'm seriously sick of the pc brigade. i don't know but has it been censored? does it have an x cert on it. shit, just look at some of the buffoons out their on the world stage, these guys don't even come close. we have films like new moon, underworld, tv series like eternal law, (about angels) and true blood, a whole series that has as it's main features, witchcraft, vampires, werewolves voodoo and christianity.

so no, it's just a crap music vid whatever it professes. jmo

as for artist and the cultures they use; it's been the same for millennia.
