13039256, Smh @ the racial propaganda in the video
Posted by Boogie Stimuli, Tue Jun-28-16 08:18 PM
First the latina/white? looking chick:
New to it all, clueless throughout the vid.
Talks about how she didn't want a man
to depend on her for support. Wants more
stability than a millennial can provide.

Next, the classiest of them (white chick, of course):
She's only innocently trying to pay for
her law degree and have no debt. Awwwww.

Another white chick on stage:
"It's not about sex, it's about who you are in his life"
Wow, the presentation of this video sounds like
a hallmark card. So touching.

But wait...
Then we have the Black woman:
Starts off about the gender pay gap making it easier
to ask for $1000. Talks about having a "rotation"
of men (3-5 trying to build to 10)
Notice she was the only woman recorded talking directly
about asking for money and the only one recorded talking
about having partners (multiple ones, at that).
You can't tell me they didn't do that on purpose.
That played into two stereotypes about Black women.
The welfare queen with their hand out for a hand out
and the hyper-sexuality myth.
Who knows if the other women said similar things off camera,
All I know is their statements weren't included in the vid.

They played her, but as a Black woman, she already
played herself by being a part of a recorded ho-
conference produced by white folks.
They used her to do the dirty work, aka say the things
about the "lifestyle" that they didn't wanna say...
to deflect from themselves like "yeah, we're hoes,
but we're not as bad as THIS ho."
Come to think of it, maybe that's why she didn't care,
because she got paid, and it's a ho conference anyway,
so she don't care if they used her... that's what
the "lifestyle" is about lol.
The white women in the video served the function
of normalizing the "lifestyle" by speaking of it
in pure, everyday terms.

Say I'm trippin if you want.
The proof is right there.

As for the whole video tho, I can't be mad
at the hustle. If you can find suckers
(tricks, simps, whatever) to pay your bills
then break the shit out of 'em. Suck 'em dry.
Get ya money.
