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.
