Very interesting read. I feel as though I viewed Miley’s performance differently than how she believed people would view it though. If she was using black women as an “unattractive” backdrop to her more attractive, thin whiteness, from my perspective at least, she failed. Nothing about her outfits, hair, makeup or her socially “ideal” super-thiness was attractive in the least, from my view. The black women sharing the stage with her looked miles better. On the other hand, I’m not a heterosexual man, so I’m not the target audience. Were there tons of winking white men in on the joke, thinking how sexy Miley looked up there?
