Black People : Black College Womem Take Aim at Rappers

[diakonos]

Maybe it was the credit card that rap superstar Nelly swiped through a woman's backside in a recent video. Here at Spelman, the most famous black women's college in the country, a feud has erupted over images of women in rap videos, sparking a petition drive and phone campaigns.

That sums up the basic message Spelman women have gotten from rappers and TV executives — if you don't like it, don't watch the videos or listen to the music. But the student activists insist the stereotypes in rap music hurt black people even if they don't listen.

Spelman is still flaw. They took the dudes donation LOL. Black Women are being degrading by white media and I bet if a Hollywood Producer or Famous Director came they would not boycott him.

WHAT?!

I've heard of this somewhere and I really think that it is rediculous these females are getting mad at the rappers.Who forced those women to get in that Tip Drill video?No one they want to make money and they want to show off their body like that let them,but don't blame the rappers for seeing something easy and making money off of it.This made me very mad at the women who got mad about the videos because it's not the rappers who shake their behind and breast in the camera it's the women.I mean maybe they could've come out with a more positive message in the song,but there are women out there who fit the description.My main point is....If you weren't out doing it or you dont do it no one would have a thing to say.Like females that get mad when they are called out of their names"STOP DOING THINGS TO BE CALLED THAT!!!!!!!"wooooh let me calm down

I applaud the black women at that university for taking a stand for once against music that degrades them. For too long, black women have girated to music that labeled them every degrading name under the sun. It's good to see that this new generation is prodcung more gender conscious women who demand respect. It's also important to note that a lot of brothas rallied togather to helpsistas in the boycott. It's good to see black men standing by the side of black women in large numbers attacking sexism for the first time. The only thing that concenrs me is that the rappers are not the only ones who need to be attacked. the women who allow themselves to be called whores to their faces and still find it in them to rump shake to the music should be called out as well. That's just like a white person saying the word ****** in their song lyrics and offers to pay me to dance to the music and i accept the offer.

in my opinion both the women and the men who participate in those cvideos are sell-outs that deserve no simpathy or excuses for their actions. the women are sell outs to both white supremacy and male supremacy and the men are sell-outs to white supremacy.

p.s., i think i remember reading somewhere that the women weren't even paid to be in that video.

Well said LktPolit

I have to take serious issue with some of the members that disagree with the women have a problem with miscegenist rappers. Yes nobody put a head to these women to make them shake their rump in these videos. The same way nobody put a gun to the head of the black man or woman on crack. But do we applaud the crack dealer for supplying them with the drug? No... I don't think so. And it is for this same reason we need to hold the rapper that has no problem featuring women, just for the sake of selling sex and records.

If the artist is true to his craft why does he need to have a woman show her buttocks and breast to get your attention?

With all the sacrifices made my those who came before us, and in light of the historical fact that black women have been completely sexually exploited, black men owe it to our people not to support this pseudo-porn
