Racism in Pop videos

It is now thought that music videos are not simply throwing more flesh at us but loads of layered messages. Chief among these are narratives around race, which go largely unmarked by mainstream media.



There's a huge debate going on about "sexualization", but it is narrowly focused on explicit portrayals of sexuality in videos aimed at young people.

But what bout race in this video? when do we look at who is centre stage? And sexualization is mainly hip hop?

                          

Miley cyrus used to be a sweet girl, now she has restyled a a caricature of "black culture" (and surrounded herself with some faceless black women dancers for extra cred)
