Making Privilege and Power Visible

I think that it is true to a certain extent that black women do not have a name for themselves. Only because some of our beautiful African American females choose to shake they a** in videos and put up with being called h** and B****. In no way shape or form do I condone this behavior, but in our society today black males lead the charge in disrepecting our black women so how can we as a people strive for and want change for black women if we don't practice the change ourselves. In my daily life I see more black women than white posing half naked in videos and portraying a image that does not exist. As the stereotype grows about black women having huge butts and a** shakers I see in our young female youth the same thing I see on television... and that is special inappropriate dances and booty poppin while the parents of these children cheer them on as if nothing is wrong. Black women have come a long way from caring for their white masters chidren and caring for their houoseholds, but somewhere in the evolution of black women something went wrong and exploitation of their beautiful bodies is the new thing to do and be apart of in order to have fun and live life.
