"Women of Color in Videos....my moral dillema"


          

I was watching the video for "Danger" by Mystical the other day...

I must say pseudo progressive cats of the early like myself got our wish. I remember saying why don't they all flavors of sistas in the videos why just just lightskin sista and token caucasian sista?

Well nowadays in videos there is equal oppurtnity exploitation.
It weird cuz no matter how much i cringe at the debauchery in these videos i must admit "Damn these are some of the most beautiful women i've ever seen.

I mean Damn on "Danger" that has to be largest gethering of beautiful, sexy, exotic women ever captured in short film. At the same time i have to turn it off cuz i know it's Bullshit, sexist imagery. At the same time when that utopian dark somailan looking sista is engaged in lesbaian-esuqe intimacy on the bar with that caramel brown would be queen, me and most of the hetero-sexual species have a brief brush witht the dark side of the Force....

What i'm trying to say is that while i know that is is wack, i know its' eye candy, and just like real candy it has no substance whatsoever...

But, as hard as it is for me to watch beautiful women be exploited by a patriarchal, sexist enetertainment industry it's just that hard for me to turn away from a half naked African beauty in living color...

So turn that BET off right now, but hold up wait let me check that sis out right there she looks good as hell, man give me that remote! I'm turning on the history chann- damn did you see that Butter Pecan Rican, she's a dime son...Look if don't we don't stop watchin this soft porn, im gonna...Whew! did you see her they had to block her chest out, i know they gonna show her again, they got to, c'mon show her again... there she goes oh my god...Fuck this man i'm turnin' it off for sure, this time but, oh shit, aw man they about play "Danger"....
