"Venus Lives" trailer

[GodSunofGodd]

Haters



[bigkendallas]

We have someone respectfully exploring how the voluptuous black woman'boby has been percieved over the last 200 years. Of course, sexual attraction is a part of it, but i also see woman who are called "fat" by White America, being shown as having a nice shape. It was made by a man ...i say good ! If bone-skinny Victoria's Secret models can have tv specials on CBS, and be called "sexy", why not show that there are other ideas of what sexy is ?

[bigkendallas]

All these negative comments are a shame.

[bundleOanimosity]

lol typical monkey shit..."lets try to gain respect by exposing and exploiting ourselves and call it art" wtf is this world coming too...lol same thing with callin eachother n*ggas lol when will they smartin up lmao keep up the good work

[loveedigveggies1004]

I don't think this video is exploiting our sisters it is educating us letting us know our bodies are beautiful and of course we are not our behinds......

[dageekundaground]

Psuedo intellectualism at it's best. Me, I like 2 call a spade a spade. IT'S A GOT-DAMN STRIP SHOW !!

[N0CR3AT0R]

The Founder had to be a MAN.

[AngelRose11]

The girls in this video remind me of saying that my dad used a lot: it's possible for a person to be so dumb that they don't even realize they're stupid. I didn't completely get it then, but oh boy, do I get it now. Men take note for your daughter's sake!

[JNickS33]

nope. FAIL. This is the wrong way to reclaim the Black female body. Really disappointed.

[nomolos777]

come on bru with that bullshit! you tryin to compensate where you are fuckin up at thats it. it aint right. period like dude said sara bartman didnt know what the fuck was going to happen to her. being naked is not an art it is a way of life got dammit. in Africa we was ust to this shit. but like the cracka you exploit unconscious females to compensate for your wrong doing. trying tomake it right from this perspective is not going to work in the end

[XxHebrewLuvxX]

*SMH* Are these women serious??

[XCRunner1188]

no no no no can't these women see that they are merely dehumanizing themselves!!!!

NOT AT ALL INSPIRING!

[flyyman17]

i understand the sayin flaut it if you got it...but Sara baartman didnt know tht wut she had was going to pretty much take her life...i love hips thights tits and ass but if u have to sell urself jus to make a few dollars or have tv time then wut is the point of u calln urself a surperior black woman...i wnt justify tht...much love to thos who lost there life because of the beautiful bodies...RIP Sara Baartman

[vscol]

This video is Bullshit. Its doing the same thing that the Europeans did to Venus. Is it right that we exploit our sister or them? Its wrong all the way around. You cant learn about a woman through her ass, we need to expand on being respected peroid than respecting the black womans body. Black men still are not being respected in this country and people are worried about this shit, get a fuckin clue and wake up dummies.

[Deltaboy333]

The publisher of this video is insane!!! Yes, "booty is beautiful" but you should only share it wit ur husband or partner PERIOD! n using Sara Baartman as an excuse's the dumbest excuse ive ever heard. LOOK HOW SHE WAS TREATED and yet this is a reason  - 2 "finish the job". She must be turning in her grave.

Why?4fucksake!! because our women should not have to! She had little choice remember?!! Now its fashion?? Freedom? Like homosexuality & masturbation being taught in schools.. right?.. (spit)

[JColeM7785]

I agree...we don't have to exploit our sexuality....what is artistic about the money and sexual exploitation of the black woman? like spike said........WAKE UP!

[brotherhood302]

Too bad so many black women give a bad name to eroticism and sexiness by acting like bitches.

[magirecords2004]

Viagra Films lol!

[maxheedrum]

The only problem I have with this. Is at the end of the day the effects that these images in the Venus show has on the majority of viewers is near the same effect as a generic hip hop video.The focus should be on understanding and uplifting black male and female anatomical aesthetics, through realism and abstract art.What people lose sight of is that

in this society black male and female bodies

are given more erotic value(if that makes sense...) as opposed too being seen as beautiful as well.

[o0oDancero0o]

I completely agree. The problem with how Hottentot Venus was treated is that she was eroticized and dehumanized to the point where she was nothing more than her breast and butt, this video is pretty much doing the same thing. Can we honor Black women's bodies without the eroticizing them??

[zerotonico]

i love the way she walks

[AlphaKillaX]

vomits

[choleramorbus]

DAAAAMMMMMNNNNN!!! Im Lovin It

[zerocool66613]

you suxx

asslicker

[MrHappyPants6000]

Seriously, sometimes a fat ass is just that...a FAT ass. We're not talking about J-Lo or Kim Kardashian big ass. Most of these women with "curvy" butts also have huge thick fat thighs and a gut to boot. Yet somehow their overtly large ass is attributed more to genetics than the fact they simply have excessive amounts of fat tissue as a result of over-eating while never getting off their fat asses. I guess some people just see the huge ass and ignore the mounds of cellulite above and below it.

[ssjsongoku03]

sady he's right, alot of our women do have fat asses with tons of fat underneath.

[LaMariposaSedosa]

It's been proven that having fat in your hips, but, and thighs is HEALTHY fat. People with more fat in those areas, and less in the tummy are at a LOWER risk for heart attack. Having fat asses seems to be a genetic trait. So why is that sad?

[ssjsongoku03]

nonono you know what i mean obese women ok, not busty or thick fuckin obese im talking about. and overweight men know how to spot differences.

[PrinceDimeXI]

at 2:20 lol are you serious lmao your completely in denial then :D

[MIDNIGHT1DEMO]

This some bullshit. So I guess you go to the strip clubs to find examples of "Venus"? If the issue was a woman's beauty you would have all shapes and sizes up there-not just phat asses. Nice try. BTW I'm a man. A real man.

Stop exploiting your own people.

[c6ft2000]

That walk in the red shirt @ 1:39. Oh My Goodness! That's a wonderful thing.

[Solsircuz]

booty...booty...booty......tha­tz what most black women have to offer now these days......booty and a open hand for you to put your money.........real-talk...

[gloworm108]

That was beautiful!!!

[FireOfpassion]

hip hop is not african culture please stop

it's black american culture

[bintyyy]

u stupid ass.they were african once.

[Nasylo]

quote// The roots of hip hop are found in African American and West African music. //quote end

[FireOfpassion]

hum. i am west african myself from ( la cote d'ivoire) we don't degrade women as in hip hop, men in our countries don't go gaga over our bodies when we dacne , they watch and admire.

[Nasylo]

You can't blame hip hop for that, you gotta blame the stupid people who aint got the respect for womens, our mothers, aunts, sisters and wives. Theres alot of other hip hop music with knowledge.

[FireOfpassion]

thank you.

have a bless day.

[abobjenkins]

Get real people. This isn't art. It's just a chance for women to denude themselves while a bunch of guys wag their tongues.

[bigmoney714]

Google Agenda 21 , Rex 84 and HAARP. U must know what is going on in this world. We are being killed. Research people. We are in the last days

[ogdroadsong]

less talk more ass

[decagurl]

The people who need to watch these videos are whom? Think about it. Like I said, the purpose of this documentary is very positive but a at the same time its just showing and teaching others to base emphasis on bodies. What about women who desire to be more curvacious? They surely dont desire to be unattractive or un accepted. I guess what Im saying is, Be happy with what you have, be it bones, muscles, fat or a mixture of all and focus on developing the intellect it takes to develop real beauty.

[AnduinX]

There are times when being unsatisfied with your body is a good thing. If a woman was three hundred pounds, should she still be satisfied with her body? Sometimes dissatisfaction is motivation to change.

I agree that people should not spend all of their time striving to live up to unrealistic supermodels, but don't make the mistake of saying the body means nothing.

[DoctorGoldenBrown]

Oh, I agree with you. Healthy bodies are something we all should be striving for, and I did talk more about accepting how we are and not really much about how we should be. I can lose some lbs myself. The body does mean a lot but the reasons we cherish it... thats what matters. Dont stuff your arteries with crisco and cornbread because you want a big butt.

[decagurl]

The 'purpose' of this documentary is beautiful. I have always been praised about my assets and as a young woman, I often am offended at the amount of emphasis of bodily beauty. We are not living in a time where women with curves arent appreciated, and I just think that these types of documentaries are created to convince rather than enlighten. I think there should be more accountability for ones psyche controlling their acceptance of their own body instead of trying to convince... Im not done.

[YOUSMELLIKEWETDOGS]

shaquandivine1996 -I think that the reason that a lot of women act and dress the way that they do is because of bad PARENTING (meaning two parents).I can show my daughter what a real man looks for in a woman,but her mother can show her what it means to be a woman,and vice versa for men and their sons.Men teach boys Women teach girls and PARENTS teach children!Does single mother mean without the child's father,because there are a lot of step dads and boyfriends not getting credit for their part!

[roah]

seriously

this is the same thing. displaying the black woman to be viewed at as an object. so what the creator's intention isn't negative. the body is as much a part of you as the mind is but this is about the woman being appreciated for her body.

[asetrae]

If the world wasnt so consumed by sex, eye may have applauded this. However, sex sells, and black ass is at the top of the list. The #1 song a few months ago was INDEPENDENT, so its obvious our women do WHATEVER to be INDEPENDENT...this s*&^ is sick!

[shaquandivine1996]

Peace,(continued)

But a majority of women today have got it all wrong. Now initially men are to blame for this because we have set the standard that women attempt to live up to. Yet instill women ultimately control the sexual energy in this world. I love sexy lingerie but most men also love a feeling of exclusivity. Women today have it backwards. You are supposed to cover yourself when in public and when you come home put on your sexy garments and lingerie for that SPECIAL someone.

[shaquandivine1996]

These days women go out in public half nude then come home and throw on baggy sweats and a t-shirt in the presence of their man. Something that is truly treasured is usually only displayed to those who are worthy.The truth is that your beautiful bodies are really supposed be like a secret that should only be revealed to one you can trust to cherish that secret. So it's your choice,be a piece of meat or a precious wife.Meat is eventually consumed or it rots away, a precious wife is for life.AMEN.

[ggdotcomdotuk]

amen lol

[die4uyes]

that's a lie. Black folks in Africa rarely wore clothes. The shame of the naked body was influenced by "the west". A Black Woman should be able to walk down the street naked without negative or overtly sexual reaction from people, but can't because society is skewed and sick. Nakedness isn't the problem.

[FireOfpassion]

i agree with you, but some people don't want to accept the facts

[nitrorc75]

@shaquandivine1996 ....AMEN

[YOUSMELLIKEWETDOGS]

shaquandivine1996- I agreed with you until you said that the men are to blame.I think you meant to say that SOCIETY is to blame for accepting these standards that women try and live up too.Women have a choice of how they wanna look for themselves first and foremost.If they're self esteem is so low that they can't figure out how they wanna be seen,then the problem starts with self.That's like saying a cop is dirty because of the criminals,or a whore is a whore because of her tricks.I'm just say'n

[shaquandivine1996]

Peace, Alright sisters, firstly I will state that I love y'all, and thats for more than just your ass. But it seems to me that feeling powerless and unappreciated sisters and other women often grasps onto whatever they feel will gain them acceptance as being relevant in the eyes of the world. The question is will showing your curves to the public, a majority of which will never truly love you, put black women where they need to be in society. I always loved curvaceous females.

[MIDNIGHT1DEMO]

Poetry, art, what the fuck ever!!! Last thing we need is someone bringin more attention to some ass in the black community. We all know it wont be taken like that. Waste of time.

[blackoasis777]

no offense, the logo for skinny men looks like it's about to take a boo boo on those flowers..lol.

[ppsmalls1]

Negresses are steatopygous because people who are indigenous to hot climates develop bodies that deflect the heat. For males there is little body fat. But women need a certain amount of fat to produce estrogen and be fertile. The buttocks are the best place,like a camel's hump, that does not insulate, and thus, overheat,any internal organs. The flat splayed nose also plays a part. More arctic peoples have a tendency to accumulate fat around the middle and have long, thin noses to warm cold air.

[igraduate09]

What the fuckin fuck? How is bein a video hoe poetry? Like seriously? Sara Baartman was FORCED to pose naked!!! These women need to get REAL and learn the facts! Ugh! I pray for my race!

[makgraff]

i love ass im white y r they making it a race thing

[vegan4life2006]

I have more respect for Afghan women then i do black women nowadays. Just look at you. fckn infadels. lmao

[JordaneX27]

HUH??? u dont make any sense. Sigh............. another dumb ignorant red neck racist. lmao

[monkyzangel]

i blame the black community today for alot of our problems,guys arent taught right and dont know how treat their blk women or ne women for that matter with respect.even though im black, i see its our problem now. responsibility.i say forget all those ignorant racist bastards out there. theyre gonna live stupid and die stupid i dont even pay no attention to pple like that. *sigh* this world will never change

[monkyzangel]

why are you saying 'black women'! im blackk and im nothing like that! I personally would not want an ass like that, however its beautiful to some pple! if you dont like it shut the fuck up. some white girls are just as nasty as ny one, but noone pays them attention unless there poor white trash or doing it with a blk man! little miss perfects with perfect bodies and perfect everything get over looked bc their 'beautiful'. once again im not talking about all black or white women.

[GeneralTarik]

So what's up with the movie? When does it come ou?

[platniumalstar06]

Black women are fuckin disgusting, sarah bartman was exploited as a sexual slave, becuase of her body, and now your willingly doing the shit? don't make you being whores a form of liberation.. Instead of being there for your black men, you runnin around bein a sexual tool for muthafuccas.. ya'll are fuckin sick

[huttestboy]

Hmmm......Dont criticize what you don't understand.

[kdj997]

hooray for black women

[intelligenceisnot]

You got my attention instantly; then you lost it just as fast. You know what to do. Now do it :)

[ron6294]

Regardless of them celebraing Baartman and that body type, they are still being expoited. Fools! It seems we will never wake up, what a shame.

[gburgess674]

I totally agree with you!! I don't think that they get the Real message about Ms. Baartman. She was exploited and degraded. Wake up Black women, wake up!! Don't do to yourselves what others have done, Respect yourselves and your bodies!!!

[vegan4life2006]

Nuff fuckn said! Wake up blk women!

[wugsayseatadck]

What is positive about being a sideshow? Ignorant ass fools

[YungDaVinci]

i know right, and it was real fucked up how they did Baartman when she dead.

[sexyculid247]

your body is your body!its the way your build..we all have differnt sizes and shapes!

[anonymousApostle]

Black women are fuckin disgusting, sarah bartman was exploited as a sexual slave, becuase of her body, and now your willingly doing the shit? don't make you being whores a form of liberation.. Instead of being there for your black men, you runnin around bein a sexual tool for muthafuccas.. ya'll are fuckin sick.

[hazecentbaby]

smh... once again I find another youtuber who has no life... shameful

[apapap187]

black women disgust me .. period

[DivaAwwKrazy]

shut up

[apapap187]

why should I

its a free country, I can have my own taste an opinion. It has got nothing to do with rascism.

[DivaAwwKrazy]

who gives a rat ass

[guterbol]

i saw this and started growling lol. beautiful bodies omg.

[tinabell1000]

cool!

[agray10]

great doc..looking forward to it

[redfootwalking]

Having a teeny tiny waist, bottom and hips are not the majority (regardless of ethnicity) if that were the case, girdles, waist cinchers and control top briefs wouldn't be sold in every department store and discount store. Women need to know they are beautiful regardless of their size; and take better care of ourselves on the inside and out. Way too many young girls my daughter's age (10 yrs) are starving themselves to acheive "perfection". We should watch how we look at ourselves.

[HoneyDip127]

I totally agree with you! I also feel this video does not show the adverage woman's body. The little waist & big bottom & hips is not how most of us are shaped. I feel they should have also focused on that in this video! What you are focusing on is what we see in these hip hop videos this is not the adverage woman's body. What if you don't have tiny waist & big bottom & thighs are you still beautiful? "Yes we are", so why didn't I see any of the everyday women in this video.

[redfootwalking]

Great minds think alike! :) I agree with you too!

[apexx17]

its the average black womans body.......they may not be that curvy and big, but in their size it suits.....jus look at the next Moorish girl you see, an tell me dey aint got curves

[HoneyDip127]

I totally agree with the fact that black women have curves but, "why aren't the women with not so tiny waist & big bottoms & hips aren't depicted in this video?" Every size & shape should have been shown thats all I'm trying to say! We are all beautiful!

[9thOverstanding]

I agree they shud have showed variations of black womans bodies.

[Blackphyr1]

I agree...but the reason why we don't look the way we should is because we are eating the wrong food. Most food grown/processed/derived in America is full of pesticides, inhumane amounts of fat & empty calories that do nothing but throw of the natural order of our temples because that's what they were manufactured to do. We should be fasting our bodies from this poisonous wasteland we call "American Fare." It's doing more harm than good.

[redfootwalking]

You're absolutely right. The foods many people are consuming are destroying our bodies. Fasting is an ancient, yet, effective method of cleansing; my husband and I practice fasting. We try to stick to organics, we also try to avoid fast foods, junk foods, we want to be a better example to our children. You are absolutely right. A lot of our problems are coming from our foods...pesticides etc. Thanks!!!

[jets1934a]

It funny to see how Some of the overweight, fat women are justifying their weight isue. It one thing to have curse, that definitely beautiful, but when your ass and thighs looks like a bowl of cottage cheese that's called fat,overweight.

[maipai101]

Sorry hun but the ass and thighs are genetic. Why do we go by the white standard of beauty? When it comes to black bodies we will never look like them. Those women dont look fat they look like normal women who just have a little extra down there. I see nothing wrong with them. This clip isn't about a woman's weight it's about a woman's build. I'm sick of everyone using European body types as the standard for healthy bodies.

[bucksatan1]

If you had your way youd be wearing a loincloth and dragging your meat curtains on the ground.

[BROO666]

1:54 that is one of the best butts/bodies I ever seen!!

[4thdegblkblt]

So tell me..what is defined as vulgar? How do you know you are going to far. So you are telling me as soon as a black woman start shaking her butt in public it is an automatic foul. DeucePrez, I was taking about the East Indian muslims...It is none of my business what a black muslim does.. I am standing up for all these BBW model sites that some of you keeping bashing. You know the ones where they only showcasing their beauty (barely no nudity).

[sk8ing0savior]

yeah so then why is it still only women? It's still sexual exploitation. Woman shouldn't have to be on stage in order for you to appreciate them. They really shouldn't be on stage only so you can appreciate their body. This goes for everything.

[dealmaker007]

Just because you have something doesn't mean it should be exploited and put on vulgar showcase. Why not celebrate your body with your mate?

[4thdegblkblt]

Hey gerald. I know you been spamming bbw model vids but Auguste Moore made that decision herself. She is very educated and she only showcase her beauty. There is a balance on everything. Black women should not be restrictive as muslims.

[DeucePrez]

4thdegblkblt:

??

Are you saying that Black women who are Muslims should show their bodies? Clarify please....

[geraldfoushee]

i love the black woman or the full woman..My thing is that YOU have to understand that WE look fine as black people and we don't need to fit the standards of others...That is the problem...You just have to find a way to be YOU..you don't have to be a 6 but you can still take care of yourself healthwise? if you job or workout do that for you not for me or the media...love yourself first and forget about the mags and TV people and all the fitnah they deal with...love yall peace!

[Bones002010]

shouid put on

[enforceone]

Some are you saying that is not okay for a black woman to showcase her beauty but its okay for all other races... Its like the white ppl forcing black ppl to behave when black ppl celebrate. But when white folk ppl party, all hands are open and most cops are passive... So Fran do you want black women to be covered up like muslim women?

[bucksatan1]

Steatopygia. Look it up and weep.

[FranG1214]

The black woman has a beautiful body; this is undebatable. This doesn't mean it is for the world to see. That's reserved for her family (i.e., her husband). Why do we need validation from other people of this by making it a public exhibit? Do their opinion really even matter?

[dealmaker007]

Yall really need to watch this about "Venus"

watch?v=iQ7mmMe4klQ&feature=re­lated

[dealmaker007]

Yall do realize that they treated her like a freak of nature don't yall? They put her on display and exhibition to exploit her beauty in a vulgar and fornicating way. Is this what yall want, black women? For men to look at you like you are a piece of meat? Research on what they did to Sara after her circus freakshow was over. Read about what they did with her remains. Why do you want to go out like that?

[DeucePrez]

dealmaker007:

You are too correct!!

In fact, Sara Baartman has a brief bio about on YouTube ("Who Is Sara Baartman? Every black woman should know her name‏").....

And it's a sad one.

[SpeakDaReal411]

Let's face it. Most BFs are attention seekers exhibitionist. They do what they do, IN PUBLIC, for the sole putpose of bringing attention upon themselves. This, oftentimes, is known to temporarily boost of the level of self-esteem in those who are lacking. Me, I'm personally tired of seeing BFs put their asses and pussies on display. Unfortuantely, there is very little MODEST about BFs today. It's so easy for a BM to be "Pussied Out" by BFs by age 19 in our day and time.

[teereed31]

you have to understand the psychology, we as people are easily led astray, black females are just as mis guided as the black male... we shoot each other and they exude their sexual power...

[SpeakDaReal411]

Damn. Game Point! lol

Excellent response.

[BrianTryin68]

CURVY Women are the Shit!

[veevee7t]

Sarah Baartman was the first vixen. big-ups 2 her and r.i.p.

[veevee7t]

and very tasteful art on the video!

[purplehazygurl]

umm, not only black women have curves, the world is ignorant

[tsmooth]

And so are you for making this dumb ass comment!!! This film was made to celebrate the black women! If you want to celebrate other cultures, you are free to do so!!!!

[purplehazygurl]

I thought it was made to celebrate the curvy women, and the women's body?

[orenkie]

Well as you already know before the term "Curvy" was coined by white American media the only women that were called "Curvy" perse, were African women.

And it wasn't shown in a very positive light either. Infact no black features were...NONE. Not hair, not lips, not noses, not eyes, nor ass/hips/booty/thighs whatever you want to call it.

But as I told another, when the rest of the world finally admitted to the desire of these features this is when people try to say "not only you have it!"

[purplehazygurl]

BY white "american media", you said it

[77shadyoaks]

Ain't nothing like a thick beautiful black sista. Gotta love it mayne!

[GRIMSVOLT]

damn i need to start my own documentary....ummmm lets see, "Breasts: Natures Little Cup Of Heaven"

[Krazy4Culo]

yes Yes YES!!! let them know that we love them JUST HOW THEY ARE.

We love your curves! Work that bOOty gurl!

U R the ORIGINAL. We love you Black Woman! :D

[day50912]

It costs $5.95 on their website.

[KipOmolade]

Fantastic!! Sisters are amazing!!

[reak7835]

i'ma say this black women are beautiful...i don't mind if you thin(just not too thin)or fit or fat...if you black it's beautiful...white women are beautiful too, no disrespect but black women got it goin' on ...if you get my meaning...

[Dollaboy667]

[jusmylove]

This is beautiful. This right here is for the whole world to see because no one is born to be a size 2. God made us in his image. All shapes all size in all women of color. Hotep, thank you for showing me the real truth of real women.

[primoflip3]

[blackman1024]

I am filling this herd about this from a friend of mine who was going too see this at the apache cafe. How can I get art work or the video
