Miley Cyrus

All I knew about  Miley Cyrus up until about a week ago was that she was some singer/actress who had a funny first name, bestowed upon her by father Billy Ray Cyrus.

Then came some Music Awards Show where she strutted around sticking her tongue halfway out her mouth, did twerking (thrusting the pelvis back and forth as if you're having desperate sex, a hip hop "simulated sex" move (you can't call it dance) that a growing generation of girls apparently think will attract the eye of boys and get them free sex and perhaps a baby and a baby daddy to boot - why else would they do it???

Anyway, although Miley, who is white, has come in for a lot of criticism over her tasteless performance, it is sad to think that if she were black, probably nothing would have been said. I say this because I'have seen snippets of videos of hip hop where that is exactly what the backup sex-objects are doing - twerking and fawning all over the male singer with his gold chains and his angry face and his utter contempt for the women fawning all over him.

Sadly, Miley Cyrus sees absolutely nothing disgusting in her behavior...and I really wonder if all her tweener fans don't either. That would be so sad.
