'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.

Your thoughts?

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"...

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.

*High fives to Loryn!*
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.

The year Melissa Tormei won the Oscar she was up against four British Shakesperean-type actresses.

Call it split the vote, call it back lash, call it rooting for the under dog, or all of 'em combined ... it's the same thing here.

Nothing more, nothing less.

fucking hell... makes me want to slaps these 'tards.

they were all bottom three because most people consider them "safe" so people don't vote as much as they should. 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.

She's one of the best which is reason enough why she had to be voted out first! Tough competition!

Good explanation.

Some sociologists blame the "free rider" mentality for the failure of socialist states. Nobody cares cuz everybody assumes someone is doing what's necessary.

Ever watch MTV lately? The only white guy is the one hosting the show. And is most likely Jewish anyway.

It's more a popularity contest than a cas of racism and as mentioned already a lot of peeps are apathetic about voting for their favs if they think they are safe.

I do blame the voting process that is less than perfect - anyone who hates the show and wants a good joke pulled on them can line up easily some dialers and hit the system with false votes.

I dont think American Idol is fixed - but I do think some kid with a dialer in chicago is!!!

but Im canadian - we arent racists - hell even I own a color TV set
