I have to say, that I could not agree with you in 100% regarding Women Must Rise Up and Lead the Fight Against Sexist Hip-Hop, but it’s just my opinion, which could be wrong

I couldn’t understand some parts of this article Women Must Rise Up and Lead the Fight Against Sexist Hip-Hop, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.

There are problems with women leading the charge. First the organizations of Black women that you mention, for whatever reason, don’t think the rappers are talking about them so they don’t care. The most influential men of the past and the present have been silent. You know what I mean? Nothing from Bond, Young, West, Smiley, Dyson, Obama, C. Powell or his son, Poitier, Joyner and I could go on and on. You suggest that Black women should lead the fight and what I am saying is this, again this time by choice and not circumstances Black women are left to fend for themselves. Subsequently, Black women have tried to ignore the problem by saying “they aren’t talking about me” because we have no “Backup”! Look at other ethnic groups, they hold their women up, not allow them to be torn down. White men don’t see anything wrong with denigrating women as long as it’s not their’s. Remember what happened for whistling? I bet you think the end of his life was horrible. Just think what would have happened to him if he had said something derogatory, they would still be looking for the pieces. Just an FYI Black people don’t get the respect they want because they don’t stick together and they don’t respect each other so other ethnic groups don’t respect us. That is our legacy unless we stop putting each other down nd separating ourselves from the problems that don’t directly hit us. Our society is so sick I saw an Oriental man interviewed on “Dancing with the Stars” and he described his favorite white male contestant as “my schizal minigal” now what was he saying in Snoop Dog? If you really look at it like it is… if Black women get up and start raising a ruckus, they will be labeled B’s, H’s, cranky B’s and H’s, man hating B’s and H’s and on and on and it will come from all men and some Black women too because Black men don’t back us up and Black people don’t like each other. We go to church and won’t speak to people who sit around us every service unles the Reverend says, “look at your neighbor and say… The psychological damage that has been done to our group of people was precise and direct, swift and sure, long lasting and it appears binding. One more FYI, in the month of March, Ebony published an article about Hip Hop direaspecting Black women in the same month Jet published an article about how smart some Black women graduates were for getting educated and then becoming “Video Vixens” while they still have their “looks”. Isn’t Ebony and Jet published by the same “Black” company? We are so confused.
