For years we heard how men,BLACK men in particular disrespect and exploit women,especially BLACK women in the music industry. Whether it's hiring women to get nearly naked in a video or having them dance across the stage in outrageous outfits,men-BLACK men have always been blamed. But can we really continue to blame men-BLACK men for the things we're seeing now?
I was watching the VMA's on MTV last night for all of 7 minutes. But unfortunately,it was the first 7 minutes and saw this girl name Nikki Minaj (above) performing with Will.I.Am from the Black Eyed Peas.
*sidenote*
Why was that dude dressed in black face? If a white person had done that,he would have been the first person raising hell about it.
*back to the blog*
This girl Nikki Minaj was going out of her way to show off her.....(ummmm. how can I say this?) Ok,I guess I'll just say it. She was going out of her way to show of her MASSIVE behind. She was bending over and straddling the rail like she was at your local "shoe modeling" establishment. That's a "strip club" for those of you not familiar with.......nevermind.
Even her back up dancers,singers or whatever you want to call them were climbing all on the light fixtures,all in an effort to show off their back side. This IS America and people are free to do what they want and I'm sure there were thousands of guys glued to the television. But I wonder how many of those guys know or even care that the person they saw last night is as fake as a 3 dollar bill. The above picture shows what Nikki Minaj looked like BEFORE and AFTER she had BOOTY implants. Well, I've read she has booty implants and I've read that she wears booty pads but I'm sure those guys don't care which one it is.
What does that say about us as a society when women are putting silicon in their behinds to make it look bigger? What does it say about us as a society when women are putting "booty pads" in their pants to make their behinds look bigger?
In my opinion,women who do that are no different than the women walking the stroll and turning tricks.Except these women don't have pimps,they're pimping themselves. They are exploiting themselves. All in a chase for the mighty dollar and the limelight.
Do they realize what that silicon will feel like in a couple of years?
Do they know that a man-a REAL man isn't impressed by that?
Do they know the only man they will attract are the men that will value them as an ASSet and not an asset?
Do they even care about the little girls who see them and think that's the best way to get attention?
And PLEASE spare me the "parents should teach them right from wrong argument."
That would happen in a perfect world but we all know this world is far from perfect.There are some girls out there dying to get booty implants so they can become the next Nikki Minaj. Just like Nikki Minaj was dying to become the next Lil Kim.
By the way,have you seen Lil Kim lately? CASE CLOSED!
Sooner or later this exploitation of black women has to stop. But it will never stop until black women stop self exploiting THEMSELVES.
I am in complete agreement with what you're saying here concerning Black women exploiting themselves. We have lost the richness of our culture as a people, based on morals, values, family and self-respect. Most importantly, our relationship with God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Women have exploited themselves in videos, strip clubs, nightclubs, on the internet, sexting, sending naked pictures through cellphones, and other avenues. They are setting a terrible example and putting a false image out there for our young girls and young women to look up to. They have them thinking that this is the ideal model to conform to in order to be accepted by men. When in actually they are exploiting themselves, painting a picture that depicts Black women as prostitutes or shall I say harlots. We are competing with each other by trying to be this desirable, perfect "Barbie". We dress ourselves up and sell our bodies and soul for riches and fame. Thus forgetting who we really are in Christ Jesus, the daughters of the promise! So, we go and get long weaves, plastic surgery and colored contacts to look like white women, but our men still don't respect us. Why? Because you play yourself like a harlot. A women can is beautiful when she learns to love God, love others and herself. You can be gorgeous on the outside, but messed up on the inside. Our women have lost their value. But, God is ready to restore the women back to their rightful place, as Proverbs 31 women!
