Christianity by definition is ethnocentric. They think they are superior because they know the one truth, "the Good News", not because they think they are racially superior, although many undoubtedly do. It is kind of difficult to feel that you not only know how someone should live their life, but also feel you have a right to tell them about it, and not think that you are superior. Christianity is about God versus the Devil, not White versus Black. The music video is just stupid. It seems to be trying to be epic, but with a very tiny mind to fuel it, it comes off as sophomoric. It appears to me this represents a struggle between sexuality (represented by the voodoo person)with the lover, and the spiritual ecstasy of a relationship with God. However the handling of the symbolism is so clumsily done it seems that the creators of the video were not completely sure what they were meaning to say. This is an equal match for the vague and ambiguous lyrics. Plus, that has to be one of the most mannish looking women I have ever seen, to me she was more repulsive that the vodooer. Shallow, superficial, and obtuse; all the hallmarks of pop culture.

Racialicious seems to be like a lot of those who use race to gain point and make money by taking cheap potshots to stir up any kind of controversy they can so that they might profit financially. Evidently they are ignorant of what "black face" really looks like. This is blackface




Here are two screen shots from the video.


I guess you could call it "blueface". He looks more like night crawler from the x-men. Considering you can't generally see him anyway, as he is moving so fast, and half of the time he has a mask on, I think it is a bit of a stretch to call this Blackface.


Racialicious is not furthering the debate, they are cheapening it.
