Profound video causing a political stir.........

London Rapper M.I.A has always been known for her strong political views but her new music video has gone a step further than any words could ever be able to take.

Yesterday she released this video on YouTube but within hours it was taken off.

The Evening Standard said...

...Her latest video is by far her most controversial. The harsh treatment of redheads in the film supposedly highlights racial discrimination and many believe she is drawing parallels with the treatment of the Tamil people by the Sri Lankan government, and packaging it in a way that Western audiences can relate to....

Personally I say 'Hats off' to her for having the balls to tackle such difficult issues, and ones that most of us choose to ignore on a daily basis. She is using the media to educate the masses and help people relate to something that is so far beyond their comprehension.

So if you aint seen it, take a moment now to watch this 9 minute Tamil Tigers Homage and see how it makes you feel. There are many injustices in this world. Lets not ignore yet another with our busy western lifestyles.
