Shocked and Appalled
I am almost unable to express how shocked I am to find my worst suspicions about America confirmed over a music competition. The show may be trivial, but it is outrageous that, for a second time, the two most talented musicians — who are also the African American musicians — should be consigned to the bottom ranking, and that the person who obviously has the most talent — LaToya London — should be booted off the show. I cannot condone the poor manners of the crowd that booed when Ryan Seacrest announced that LaToya was leaving the show, but I certainly understand how they felt. Randy Jackson did not quite come out and say that the choice was racially biased, but we all felt it.
