I’m not sure I’m following your reference to field Negro/house Negro dynamic here. Are you saying that your post was intended to subtly point out that Outkast is acting as house Negro and aiding in the oppression of the field slaves by appropriating the term colored?

Well I would say my post was exploring if and/or how, the field Negro/house Negro dynamic might be applicabale in the situation of OUTKAST's performance.

The use of the word "colored" was a mixture of toungue-in-cheak as well as an intentional use of a very "dated" term. Apparently NOT the best method of communicating an idea, or exploring one.
