Where’s the outrage now?

Over the years, hip hop and hip hop culture has been under attack by self-righteous media whores, armchair revolutionaries and sideline activists for the way women are portrayed. It is a legitimate argument, Although I personally think that sometimes hip hop artists DO go a little too hard on the sistas, but every woman I know (and some that I don’t) that I have talked to about this very subject has said the same thing: They are not referring to THEM, so they don’t find it offensive. And as far as the so-called "video hoes" go, personally, I think it's uncalled for a lot of times, but facts are facts. No one puts a gun to these women's heads. They WANT to be in these videos...this is what they do to support themselves and further their careers. And in my opinion there is nothing degrading about a woman being on her grind, or a man supporting her grind. Hip hop has been blamed for every single thing that has ever gone wrong in the world. Everything from the crack epidemic, to the Beatles breaking up, to 9/11 and everything in between.



But these same hypocrites go home to watch dumb ass shows like that top model shit. Supporting an industry whose very existence was BUILT on the degradation of women...Depicting them as brainless eye candy. Encouraging bad body images by creating impossible standards of beauty that cannot be attained, and making girls and women feel like they ain’t shit because their butt is a little to big their skin is too dark, or whatever. But where is the outrage in that? A guy even SAYS the word bitch even if he is referring to his pregnant female dog, and there’s all kinds of hysteria. But some designer can have a simulate GANG RAPE....yes you read it right...check the picture...GANG RAPE, and no one bats an eye.

Fair is fair, gotdamnit! If you are going to get on one, then get on the other one too if he’s just as wrong. Otherwise, shut the fuck up.
