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.
