And one way it can be changed is if these women stop going to these video auditions. I hope no one's putting a gun to their heads making them shake they **** in these videos.
Where are the Black women in these videos , all I see are Latin and White girls anyways?
This whole situation isnt about the women in the videos as much as it is about you all. What they're doing is reflectin on EVERY black woman in some way. Thats how stereotypes get started. As a black male I have alot of stereotypes surrounding me and as a black male I choose to prove those wrong in my life, BUT I dont want that to just be in my life alone. I want to spread the word that as black males we dont gotta bow down to stereotypes no matter what environment we comin from. I wanna show that we not drug dealers, we not gangstas, we not criminals, and that we are intelligent and full of potential. The girls in those videos whether some like it or not represent you in society. Therefore playing the blame game shouldnt be goin on at all. I believe in rooting up and planting, tearing down and building up. The women need to know what they are doin, the stigma that it puts on them, and what they are portrayed as. Me personally I wanna see my african american brothas prosper, but I dont want them to go about it on by comin up sellin and makin a feared name in the streets. I care because their goin about it the wrong way and before it even hurts the entire race it hurts the majority of them and their families. So with this being said why should black women (not speakin about any other races) be comfortable seein each other goin about -comin up- in the wrong way. How would it had been if we did all we thought we could to come up in the 50's and 60's and just started boxin white folk out? There's a better way....
-If your not thinkin about the race as a whole and the blood that was wasted so black women wouldnt have to be looked at as objects then you don't apply.
Well, stop posting about something that youre not even concerned with!!!! You probably contribute to the problem, anyway!

:???: rappers do not "gotta" do anything. the have a choice. i believe that rappers can have a good career w/ out all the obscene images they have in their videos... bottom line, it's not what they "gotta" do, it's what they want to do. these rappers have been corrupted and are corrupting the minds of our future. our community is already looked down upon and these rappers are doing nothing but making the situation worse. and who's making money off of all of this? yea, but im going of the sub so let me move on...
and finally....
Quote: and its not like we makin black girls do this. they choose to. and its not only black girls look at disco inferno video.
this is true. no one is making anbody do anything. yes, i believe that it is partially the women's fault because they made the choice to become enslaved by the music industry. but the music industry, the media and the artists themselves are also to blame. somebody somewhere can do something about all of this, but they wont. this is why i give high regaurds to the women of spelmen. at least they are attempting to do something. there are to many people who like to talk the talk but can't walk the walk. the women of spelmen are walking the walk.
