In the UNITED STATES, where Usher’s primary market is, MOST OF US ARE NOT FROM THE HORN OF AFRICA… therefore, we do not always recognize what Somali women look like, though Iman is more identifiable as a black woman. therefore we don’t want to watch video after video where the men we give birth to paint a world that eliminates us from the picture where love and beauty is concerned.Ģ.
and black women are most under-represented in the media and represented in the WORST way in the White Supremacist (Racist) system. BECAUSE IN 90 % OF USHER’S VIDEOS, as well as those of other black male singers/ rappers of late E VERY DAMN FEMALE LEAD IS mulatto, a mexican, a white girl, some sort of unidentifiable cross breed, an Asian or someone who is OBVIOUSLY not black enough that we know what the hell she is. And it’s really SSSS.the reason people ask isġ.
#Usher there goes my baby video movie#
Sorry for my little rant but this just has been on my mind with every video, tv show, or movie i watch lately. Dark skinned or even brown skinned sistas get’s no love in the entertainment industry it seems and by our own black men to top it off. He’s not the only singer/rapper that does this. Usher’s GF Chili and Ex Tameka are obviously african american women, but when have you seen him have a woman that looks anything like them in any of his videos or ad campaigns that havn’t been his dancers shaking their ass? I’m really trying to think of one but can’t, with the exception of actually having Chili in his vid. You’ll see the husband and son be dark skinned, but the daughter and mother are always light skinned, mixed, or latino. Black women come in many shades and sizes these black entertainers need to step up and show the sista off to the world instead of putting them in a closet as if they aren’t beautiful or appreciated.
If the media is to go by then there are no black women in the world or when there does seem to be one in a movie or video she always looks the same…VERY light skinned. I’m getting so sick of every music video, movie, tv show etc show a black man but don’t feel the need to have a black woman as his better half.
