The objectification of black women must end. As African-Americans, we must stop contributing to and allowing others to shamelessly profit from the demoralization of black women. The negative and salacious images of black women portrayed in rap videos and magazines today have a profound effect on all women of color, and has no doubt contributed to the emotional, physical and verbal abuse many black women are subjected to in abusive and destructive relationships.
"When we buy into television shows, music and publications that dishonor black women--we devalue ourselves, our mothers, our daughters and our community, and help to substantiate the reasons why black women are often portrayed negatively in mainstream media."
We must stop buying into negative propaganda that destroys
our identity and untimely our future, and the future of our children and the women we care
about.
In solidarity,
#BlackWomenMatter!
