what's not being mentioned is how they'll still thirst for positive media attention. they pretend its just about a couple of rap lyrics when its really red carpet envy. they want to see more dark skinned black women in leading roles in movies and tv shows, on the cover of magazines, in rap videos as the love interest.
I mean yeah, you will always have some that will pursue that type of notoriety and fame in today's society because that's what deemed successful and many other noteworthy things. But with reference to the article, its a bunch of 'same shyt, different day' type stuff to me. She listed all these artist of today that made disrespectful songs but its like if they made songs honoring you/us would that make everything alright? Because there were many positive songs in the 70s but shyt was still fukked up.
She then went on to condemn the media and rightfully so but it takes too long for many of us understand and accept that this media is not for our advancement. Its to exploit, damage our self-image and enforce a new negative image through accepted stereotypes presumed to be worthy by society at large; to cripple us.
Its like before the television became as big and the media held tremendous influence; like in the 50s or 60s. People still did ignorant things and sought to fit in with what was hot at the time but the point I'm trying to make is in a vacuum with no music or movie/images being force fed to us we still had particular problems with race, economics and rights. All this entertainment nonsense with popular names that change every 3-5 years and feelings have no bearing and is nothing but a factor that can be easily mitigated once power is attained to push our own media.
