This stuff will never change. People love negativity. She can’t stop it because people want to buy the misogynistic and violent rap music. The misogynistic rap songs must have self objectifying women shaking their T&A. The little girls must watch this stuff for some reason that I will never understand. Then, they follow suit.
What’s the problem? PARENTS! You let grownups do what they want to do. You can’t make them raise their standards. It’s your job as a parent to keep your kids from watching it. When I was growing up, we didn’t have cable. If you took the TV out of the kids’ rooms, took away the laptop, worked with other parents to make sure they do the same, and work with school teachers to stop letting your kids watch grown folks entertainment, things would improve. Give them a library card, and make them read books for entertainment.
These video vixens and rappers can do what they want. Of course it doesn’t help our image, but calling them out doesn’t change anything. They apologize but then keep on keepin’ on. What we should be worried about is raising girls that don’t watch that trash, and when they finally see it, they have been raised well enough to see those girls for what they are. You have to teach your kids the right values so that they have shame. Most people aren’t ashamed of anything anymore.
But just like most problems in the black community, this will never be fixed. We like to blame our problems on somebody else. Here we are blaming rappers and video tramps for little girls watching inappropriate programming and emulating what they see rather than blaming the parents and communities for not shielding them from that and offering alternate forms of entertainment.
While her message has truth to it… she was just on Celebrity Apprentice last year living up to the black woman mean girl stereotype. She was terribly mean and a bully to Latoya Jackson and eventually Nene. I don’t trust Star at all.
this is the best review of these hoodrat’s,

Let’s demand for an upgrade for the show and not unemployed reality stars except the hoodrats. But that includes Shaunie Oneal who allows such behavior. The networks should be on notice we deserve positive images for Black women Stop slanderous portraits on Sisters.
