"Groups Blast Beyonce's Grant's Tomb Dance Sun Jul 13, 9:50 AM ET
NEW YORK - The head of a private historical group says the government and NBC should have stopped a scantily clad Beyonce Knowles (news) from dancing in a "patently inappropriate" way on the steps of the tomb of President Ulysses S. Grant."
"Saying the former Destiny's Child singer used "lascivious choreography" and barely dressed backup dancers, Scaturro's letter to NBC complained: "At that location, a certain decorum should have been observed from which popular entertainers are not exempt."
Representatives of NBC and Beyonce didn't return calls seeking comment Saturday. National Park Service spokesman David Barna declined to comment because officials hadn't yet read the letter.
Ulysses Grant Dietz, the great-great-grandson of the Civil War hero and 18th president, said Saturday he didn't object as a rule to most live performances, as long as the tomb is carefully maintained. But he suggested organizers be more thoughtful.
"If they're doing a Fourth of July celebration and they're doing it at a grave of a president, maybe they should look a little more closely at what the performances are," Dietz said."

I know Bill O'Reilly commented that he wouldn't mind half-naked :afro: s dancing on his grave.
To me this only proves how much both pop culture and :afro: in general have total disregard for American history and American traditions(ie based on European traditions not multicultural nonesense).
I can't imagine the French for example allowing this kind of :dung: being done at Napoleon's tomb.

Poor Swill O'Really. He's still trying to make up for that [url=http://www.fair.org/extra/0306/oreilly-racism.html]hubcaps[/url] comment (among others).
[SIZE=2]Maybe he made deal with the NAACP, stating that if he wants to keep his job, he's going to have to excuse [u]everything[/u] Blacks do forever and ever amen.[/SIZE]

Good to see SOMEONE saying something about this. Like Beyonce or her brillo-headed fans even know who Grant was. "Some ol' White man 'n sh*t." Yes, he fought on the Union side to free you. Maybe we should dance on his grave.

Beyonce wishes she was White. One self hating Negress. Can't blame her, though.
As for Grant, I agree Hugh, dancing on his grave should be required for Whites to do. He was a traitor as was Lincoln and the Union Army.
