Prince has new "Controversy"

Prince has been stirring up a lot of controversy with his latest music video "Cinnamon Girl". It depicts a young Arab girl (played by Keisha Castle-Hughes from the movie "Whale Rider") and how peoples' perception of her change after the incidents of 9/11. Personally, I think it's a terrific video and has a really good message. I mean, it's not like racial profiling doesn't happen in this country ... it happens every day. People's opinions are varying wildly about this video though. Some find it extremely offensive, some find it challenging and thought provoking and some are saying it's a sick stunt that Prince is pulling to garner publicity (ok, like he really needs to garner publicity, I think a number one tour and a nearly double platinum album this year has given him all the publicity he needs!) U can listen to an interview with Keisha's spokesman Mike Chunn here about her decision to appear in the video. Watch the video and tell me what you think. It would be interesting to hear other opinions.
