From Fly-Girls to Bitches and Hos




- I don't usually listen to the words that closely in rap songs- I just like the beat and how they sound. I realize they usually are very sexist though. geez I never thought about rap this deeply- that it's a reflection of the pain that black men deal with and their self-hatred?

- So is she saying black women need to distance themselves and recognize that the derogatory language isn't personal? That they need to build a close-knit community to heal the pain of racism? I mean, I think this is more of an issue with the men that they need to work on than the women.

- I'm still not sure what exactly she thinks people are supposed to do to improve the situation.
