White-run institutions that promote that shyt are more to blame. Blck ppl who champion it mostly care that these chicks are not committing crimes and are financially succeeding (low standards, i know). Its Less about the content.

Now i do have issue with it being considered empowering or even good. Its not even musically dope shyt. Much less artistically.

i live in atlanta so when i go outside i see tons of professional women everywhere from courthouses, to hospitals, universities, gyms, restaurants, post office, ups, malls, other professional buildings, etc.

if someone thinks this is actually "the" image of black women, that says something about where THEIR focus and attention is :yeshrug:

like.... who in your family or circle is perceived that way?

"oh me and my people aren't seen like this"

ok, well shut tf up then :mjlol:

Girls that become 304s aren't doing it from the music anyway. Young girls have access to all types of stuff they shouldn't be getting into at a young age, strippers and prostitutes be glorified on social media showing off money and attention. If you growing up in an unstable home that type of stuff with be on your radar to fulfill the needs you ain't getting at home. All the women I know on that 304 life come from terrible backgrounds:manny:













But I ain't about to save them:umad:

Black women have been seen as and treated as concubines by society before a brotha ever stepped on the mic, hell, before mics were commercially available. That's been their roles and image since the slave ships landed. If they want to continue to play the jezebel role, it's not the fault of black men.

That's no excuse to sit still and let rappers continue to degrade them.

I said it before, some people don’t have critical thinking and others don't know Black people. So in a culture that don't know Black Americans, showing them Sexxy Red will automatically demean us. Propaganda 101.

basically, the chickens coming home to roost. folks should have listened. black men spent almost 30 years degrading their women through music and popular culture and are now upset that those women act degraded.
Black men's image too. Pushes a stereotypical image of what a black man is supposed to be to the world, and it even changes the way we view ourselves particularly with the impressionable youth

YOU as an individual live in Atlanta. The world has approximately 8,000,000,000 people who lives outside of Atlanta and has never visited Atlanta. Even if 20% had access to social media that's still 1.6 billion people viewing what goes on in other cultures. And what happens when they see nothing but negative images of another culture?

You say it's no big deal if someone views us in a bad light. I say you're not looking at the big picture and your opinion is very short sighted

:patrice:It's good they acknowledge the how the stereotypes effect them, now if we could just get men to acknowledge how the gangster/pimp/drug dealer/thug stereotypes are bad for us then we're getting somewhere
