Is slavery a GLEEful topic?

This weekend, when I had some time to catch up on my favorite TV show, Glee, I was excited to see that it was a Brittney Spears episode. At the same time, I was wracking my brain to think of something to write a blog post on. About 15 minutes into the show, they burst out into song, singing Brittney Spears' "I'm A Slave 4 U". Immediately, a question popped into my mind. Even though the majority of our class thinks that Americans still aren't over the emotional scars of slavery, why is it okay for pop culture to address slavery in such a non-chalant way? I am still not sure what my ideas about this are, but I just wanted to pose the question and see what others think.
