    'American Idol' = RACIST -- Elton John (News Article)

    http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,118432,00.html

    Elton John joins the chorus screaming racism for last week's phone in ouster of black contestant Jennifer Hudson


    Personally, I think Elton John and the other folks screaming racism are WRONG. There's no racism here because what happened is the people who vote for jennifer and the other 2 black female contestants SPLIT THEIR VOTE since there's 3 people to split the vote over.

                  they voted for that goofy lookin black dude...although he was the LAST one to go to the top group...

                  I think it's more "haterism" than "racism"...

                          How did that Reuben win last time. People are too quick to use racism as a crutch.

                                  The only way I can justify the reason the three best had the lowest votes, would be that people just thought everyone would be voting for the divas so they voted for their favorite underdogs.

                                  My favorite has been Latoya London from the beginning. That chick rocks!!

                                              EXACTLY.

                                              While there ARE legitimate instances of racism out there, this isn't one of them. Unfortunately, the jacktards who scream racism all the time can be accused of crying wolf when a legitimate instance occurs.

                                                  I've said from the start, that she was gonna win this year's competition. She kicks ass and she posesses all the qualities that an "American Idol" should, in my opinion.

                                                          I don't think he was right on this one! There is absolutely nothing racist about it.

You think fantasia and the other one are going to be bottom three again this time round?.. Even though you guys in the US know what the results are i'd bet that they weren't in the bottom 3 this week when people realised that everyone else wasn't carrying them.. It's kind of a weak version of a common social behaviour where someone doesn't do something about an issue because it's fairly obvious to them that someone else is.

You think fantasia and the other one are going to be bottom three again this time round?.. Even though you guys in the US know what the results are i'd bet that they weren't in the bottom 3 this week when people realised that everyone else wasn't carrying them.. It's kind of a weak version of a common social behaviour where someone doesn't do something about an issue because it's fairly obvious to them that someone else is.
