I just watched her most recent music video "Free Born". I think it's a pretty crazy and controversial music video. I get the message about martial law and it makes you think. Your thoughts NS?

i think it's a definite statement about america, but not only racism in the country, but maybe the wars going on outside of them? and you know, i don't see why it's getting such a bad rap. frankly, it's rather hypocritical to attack this video, considering all the movies out in theaters and on dvd which depict the same amount of nudity, foul language, and violence, if not even more. yeah, no one wants to see it, but imagine people are living their life like that pretty much every day. that's why political music is important. awareness causes change.

nicely said. but many people refuse to act because they don't want to upset the status quo.

Yeah i understand that it is making a statement on all this stuff but i think that the American flags being a representation of our government is kinda far fetched. This being a representation of us and how we treat people, i can see i suppose.

And to the comment on the nudity and violence in the video. If your opinion is that this isn't bad, i agree. Critics can shut up because a video making a "political statement" if that's what they are calling this is way better than some of the present movies with mindless violence, nudity. People in America can't handle shit like that they see in films when people in other countries deal with it on a daily basis? get real

I dont think its about gingers specifically, she just used them to show that people find meaningless reasons to discriminate against each other and that any minority which is treated as a 2nd class will develop rebellious tendencies.

i think the use of the gingers was mostly satirical, but i mean, they are widely picked on in england and i guess america? i have no clue about the latter. but yeah, it's probably used to prove a point
